Hi Jen and Nick, Great video, well done to Nick for winning, a very tight result as predicted. Hope you both enjoyed your coffees etc'... All the best, Jon B.
Another fantastic Tram vs Train Race Jen I cannot believe how close victory was for Nick only 1 minute this must of been the closest race so far I continue to enjoy watching your Vlogs Jen carry on being awesome keep up the good work take care and stay safe and I look forward to watching your next Vlog whenever that maybe
Trafford Bar looks like what used to be called Old Trafford. Back in one of the many incarnations of this route you'd get a train from there to directly to the Styal Loop (which eventually sprouted the Airport Spur -- I'm not sure when it was built but I think it was after the rail line to Altrincham was converted to be a tram line.)
I expect that it would be quicker to change at Deansgate rather than Piccadilly, & if your train doesn't call at Knott Mill then quicker to run from the back exit of Castlefield to Oxford Road given that the tram goes really slowly up Mosley Street & you have to go through Manchester Piccadilly.
Given the difference was (VERY) marginal though, the tram would still appeal better to those with limited mobility (or lots of luggage) given no hassle of changing
Great video. I'd worked out it was firswood before but looks like you got it right. Very misleading for tourists the tram going to the airport. It's definitely more to connect wythenshawe.
Agreed. If Jen had made the first Airport Tram she would have beaten Nick by about 10 minutes. If anyone finds themselves in this particular situation, I'd say take the first tram that comes, regardless of its direction of travel.
I feel like in these videos Jens sat on one train or tram putting on effort in and everyone else is running all over the place. This sounds a bit like I’m hating but I’m not sorry
Hi just a quick one not seen any notifications recently have I missed any thing since the Manchester Airport race as I love your videos and the collaboration
‘He’s even running, who runs?’
If you’d have run, you’d have made that Airport tram and won by loads.
Really enjoyed that video 👏
Someone needs to tell Nick about the Fairfield Street lift, a nifty shortcut from the Metrolink to P13/14 (I used to use it every day!)
....Oh!
Shhhhhh 😉
That was a epic race! Well done to the winner of the race!
0:51 Jen: “Who runs?!”
Next shot of Jen - heading down to the platform as the tram leaves. Run, Jen!
4:23 Benchill makes me cry too.
Very epic race Jen & Nick. Congratulations to Nick for winning! I’ve never actually been to Manchester Airport myself.
Excellent video, Jen, with the editing increasing the tension! Congratulations to the winner and nice work on filming from you both
Thanks so much!!
Absolutely brilliant 👍
Probably your closest race so far
Thank you 😃
A nail-biter - great stuff, superb editing!
(Jen, I felt for you in that tram with the world’s grumpiest baby / toddler!)
Hi Jen and Nick,
Great video, well done to Nick for winning, a very tight result as predicted.
Hope you both enjoyed your coffees etc'...
All the best, Jon B.
Well done player 2 great race. Looks like you pretty much both arrived at the station at the same time.
That was absolutely crazy. Huge props to both of you
A very close but a Brilliant Race and well done Nick for beating Jen and I've enjoyed this video!
I live in Firswood Jen and this question has frequently consumed my thoughts

Great fun as usual, and a cliff hanger which I honestly thought you had won. Really well edited as well. Thumbs up to Nick 👍

Trafford Bar tram stop was called Old Trafford before the Metrolink conversion, and Old Trafford on the Metrolink used to be called Warwick Road.
That was a close race! Congrats to... the one that won, I can't spoil it! 😂
Your videos always make my day! Amazing content in my local area. Keep posting!
Thanks!
You laughed at the start with who runs, but if you ran you would have caught that first tram and finished way ahead. 🤣
Somebody looked very smug after winning haha! Great race as always!
4:24 hate it when that happens on public transport
Especially on an 8 hour flight and you are sat right in front 😩
I expect that it would be quicker to change at Deansgate rather than Piccadilly, & if your train doesn't call at Knott Mill then quicker to run from the back exit of Castlefield to Oxford Road given that the tram goes really slowly up Mosley Street & you have to go through Manchester Piccadilly.
I love Metrolink's Airport branch! A grand tour of Wyrhenshawe!
Given the difference was (VERY) marginal though, the tram would still appeal better to those with limited mobility (or lots of luggage) given no hassle of changing
what a brilliant race i really enjoyed this one brilliant work from both you and Nick keep up the awesome work
Thanks for another great video Jen!
You're welcome!
It should say "Tram to: Manchester Airport Eventually”
Omg not even 2 minutes in and already a nail-biter! 😱😱😱
A brilliant race you've done with Nick, I'm sure you'll win one next time Jen lol.
Next one I'm very much pushing my luck!
Player One-Jen
Player Two-Nick
I do think that Nick has outrun you Jen but quite a epic run.
Great video. I'd worked out it was firswood before but looks like you got it right. Very misleading for tourists the tram going to the airport. It's definitely more to connect wythenshawe.
Nick "winging" it at the airport..
Excellent video and super close and exciting race! Nick doesn't know the tip of walk from Picadilly Gardens🤣
Absolutely loved this
I once did the airport to Picc in 9 minutes on a TPE class 185.
That crying baby would be driving me mad
Are not Costa doing "Aero" hot chocolate this winter?
@NickBadley ❤
An impressive tally of pointing in the first two minutes 👍
Gotta keep pointing!
Told ya this race would be mega tight!
Epic race, surprisingly result!
It was close wasn't it?
Excellent video Jen i enjoy race videos.
From what point in London could you do this - Heathrow Express v underground race to the airport?
getting the train from deansgate instead of piccadilly would probably save a lot of time for that route
No it wouldn't, not on that day in those circumstances. Otherwise we'd have done just that.
The slowest way actually to get rk manchester airport is by walking
Great vid, I think on another day the tram would win. Next try Manchester to Rochdale maybe from Hollinwood. 😊
Great video Jen!
This was epic !!
I think the conclusion is, train is quicker if you have just missed the tram, and Transpennine is having a particularly good day.
Agreed. If Jen had made the first Airport Tram she would have beaten Nick by about 10 minutes. If anyone finds themselves in this particular situation, I'd say take the first tram that comes, regardless of its direction of travel.
Nick taking quite a risk relying on TPE, it's all to play for 😅
0:23
Wait,
NICK BRADLEY BECAME AN NPC.
I say it has to be at least 2 minutes of waiting or it is a tie
nick is the best and do u know jen you said i have just nist a train but it was a tram
These race videos are fun (for me to watch….)
How CLOSE was that!
Great race and video thanks for it! Have you considered changing at Deansgate? More convenient and could be quicker by avoiding Piccadilly Gardens.
That would only work if there's a convenient connection, and you'd end up on a northern stopper
@@JenOnTheMove The Blackpool trains are only stopping at Heald Green, one additional stop.
@@JenOnTheMove but thanks for your time answering!
For one minute!! pretty even I'd say more so if one had travel luggage, good non the less
should have done this with a 20Kg bag in tow
5:33 ah, yes the slow entrance to Manchester airport.
Another great race Jen, and well done Nick! Didn't you just miss a tram when you lost to G as well? I think I see a pattern starting to emerge!
I did indeed!
join the movement, return the much beloved pacers #Ilovepacers #blovedpacers
And I love you video
What's the hate on tpe it beats northern in every way
Kirkby northern is closed 🔐
I swear there is always a crying baby on the Manchester airport line…
1:28 Solution: Get on a East DidsBury tram and get off at st werbourghs road
Still would have ended up on the same tram in the end
Jen would never tie her apponents Shoe Laces together, or would she?
😇😇😇😇
Cool Hello you
But what about the prices? Which is cheaper? And the tram was more convenient. You didn't have to get out and dash across Piccadilly.
Why is nick so handsome 😅
why was he getting the tram to piccadilly when deansgate was two stops from trafford bar
Because it was slower
@@JenOnTheMove ahh, that makes sense
I feel like in these videos Jens sat on one train or tram putting on effort in and everyone else is running all over the place.
This sounds a bit like I’m hating but I’m not sorry
A crying child on Jen's tram?
Sending you my sympathies Jen.
This Video Was Really Good 👍
It was funny at the end bit not really 😂
Cool Hello i have a runny nose
Cool Hello me
