TRANSPORT for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are "confident" they have the plans in place to help customers stay on track with their journeys this weekend.

Public transport and the road network are expected to be busier than normal due to several high-profile events in the city, with TfGM and partners working to ensure there is additional capacity across the network.

Tonight and tomorrow Robbie Williams will play two sell-out concerts at Etihad Stadium, while on Sunday over 100,000 people are expected at Old Trafford football and cricket grounds for the Michael Carrick Testimonial and One Love Manchester tribute concert.

Fans attending the concert will be entitled to free tram travel to and from the venue by displaying a valid concert ticket.

There will be limited parking at the football ground and no parking at the cricket ground, so drivers are being encouraged to use one of the many free Park & Ride sites available.
