Extend the Manchester Metrolink times past 23:30 to allow people to get home.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The Metrolink in Manchester back to Rochdale only runs till 23:30 or 23:45 on weekends and its a struggle to get home after that back to Oldham or Rochdale so a 00:00 and 00:30 tram would really benefit people.

I would like the government to fund more trams for the Metrolink to have a tram that runs past midnight, possibly two trams that run at midnight and half past to allow people to get home that don't drive or aren't in the position to drive from alcohol, I work in Manchester and cannot work past 11pm as I would then be stuck in Manchester meaning a tram running till 00:30 back to Rochdale would benefit so many people.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a matter for Transport for Greater Manchester and the Mayor
