City bus scheme for home games - bus tracking (P91)

Need one from Cadishead and Irlam onto Eccles.

Can’t you commandeer that old steam train that used to be in a park near Irlam baths?

Maybe not! Used to love fucking around on this when I was at my grandparents’ in Cadishead. The smell of tar...

That’s the one I’d be looking too. I’ll have to get a sprint on to get back there before it leaves!

I said the same I’m in 317, It takes me on a good day 10/15 mins to get Briscoe Lane, they need to be communicating with the drivers, once the whistle goes you have to give it 30 mins before you leave, your going to have FOCs and possibly a few disabled trying to get there, 15 mins is nit enough time for everyone to get there. There are only 4 drop offs so it’s not going to take that long to get home.

This thread is laughable, City helping out with transport and the moaning f****** are out in force, absolute c****

Like the match day thread isn’t it!

Maybe going forward you can buy this with your season ticket like they do with the Metro ticket, that would ensure they knew how many on each bus and if they need more, if it takes off they might well need more on some routes, like others have said if you turn up and can’t get on especially if your 3rd or 4th pick up, then what?

These sorts of buses aren't a new thing, I used to get one to Maine Road with my mates when we were kids. You will obviously get a lot of the same face's using the buses each game, I remember some cracking banter on them.

The 192 Match Bus, or even the 306 Match Bus I caught a few times too, from Stockport.

I noticed it was really only Bullocks (maybe a couple of the smaller companies also did the odd Match Bus) that took the gamble with proper Match Buses since we first moved to the Etihad, with one to and from Cheadle (I think?) . But that soon increased to at least 4 buses every match.

There are a few bullocks coaches that go to every match in and around that area, which are quite popular. There’s one that goes through Cheadle that has quite a few stops.

I’m a bit unsure how it will work with the city buses as well. Lots of Cheadle blues already get a coach to the game. Would they stop using that in favour of the new scheme?

Unless I’m wrong I think the bullocks coach is cheaper than what’s being proposed
