I was around Old Trafford for the Super League Grand Final last night and there was a 255 parked up with a couple of Stagecoach staff on hand at the bus stop on Chester Road just before Sir Matt Busby Way when I arrived at around 8.30pm. There was also another Stagecoach bus out of service but didn't pick up any passengers. I did wonder whether these two buses were special services with only one being used or a case of the 255 being the 1938 journey from Partington being held up. Either way, it did miss out Trafford Bar and Chester Road stops by heading along Bridgewater Way into Manchester.

M Travel did have a couple of Darts taking fans into Manchester but obviously couldn't take many. Quite a few fans were standing around at the match buses stop on Chester Road after Sir Matt Busby Way, while more were standing along Chester Road looking for taxis. However, I think the majority would have left Old Trafford by coach or by Metrolink.
