that my idea hands off

And that excatly where the government wants you, stuck in a massive traffic jam, burning up fuel which is heavily tax ladenAgree with most of what’s been said. Just left work and jumped on the M60 and I’m sat here now, doing about 20mph max. We just don’t have the infrastructure.
Spot on!Manchester is still mainly set out as it was built before cars were in abundance as a densely populated place, most roads both major or minor cannont handdle the amount of cars in motion or parked.
All major rds into and out of Manchester city centre are packed, as are buses and trams in rush hr
One way systems and pedestrianisation of a mile raditius of the city centre is an option
Farming out business and industry to the other towns in GM rather than it all being centred in town would help.
Basically the city is too small and compact for it's growth.
Ah, altruism. Yes, I remember now, that is in ample supply on the roads and byways of Manchester. Excellent idea. Maybe we could shutdown all the traffic lights during rush hour so that friendly Mancs can all help each other get to work, and home, quicker. Outstanding idea!
I explained the “political” aspect of it at the end.
Carry on with the grand delusion. Sadly, I’m having to live with it here!
The problem there is that the current inner ring road is too close to the city centre and increasing capacity will choke off development. They either need to move the inner ring road further out as far as Alan Turing Way or go the Boston route and put the inner ring road and major arterial routes underground. Or both.And we need a proper ring road, not the wibbly, wobbly worm with more choke points than the Boston Strangler that we currently enjoy.
Imagine how the people of Leeds feel then. They don't even have a tram and their proposed trolleybus system was thrown out as well. I believe they are the largest city in Europe without any kind of mass transport system.Has a city ever cried out for an underground more than Manchester?
Yes, I understand that. All part of your ideology. :-)I havent a fucking clue what you are on about.
Fucking horrible. Took me 2hours to get to the airport with taxi from Arndale so I missed my flight home. Now I have to pay 300 bloody pounds to get back to Sweden tomorrow. Sterlings goal still made it worth it but feels so fucking shite atm
