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

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Just think of the exercise benefits of the walk if you continue using the train... unless you just can't be arsed of course!

Or it's pissing down with rain.

The trams at night on that line are a total knobhead lottery. I’ve seen numerous fights and anti-social behaviour on them.

One night, the tram driver refused to leave Derker station until a certain group alighted. They did eventually, whilst smashing 3 or 4 windows to show their disdain.

It can be fine, but it’s not a guarantee.

I used to live in Royton, so was a little intrigued.

90% of the time, it’s fine, but the 10% feels a bigger percentage than it actually is. Guess you just feel wary all the time, which is unsettling.

Just shows us that some people will piss and moan about anything

Agreed mate

What, rain... in Manchester!

Another aspect of fans using public transport that our dear council officials haven't a clue about.

In Boothstown, the milk floats have a rear gunner!

There are more staff on routes these days and that does help, but when push comes to shove, they aren’t paid enough to get stuck in when needed, so they are more of a visual deterrent.

It is nothing new really

There used to be buses from all those areas on match days back in the 70s and 80s.

One ran from Langley to Maine Road, went through Middleton centre and Blackley.

I’ve always found it to be fine and often got the last one home to Shaw. Those seats aren’t designed for sitting on long though as I git piles last time. But that’s a separate issue!!

Piles from sitting on a cold plastic seat in the stadium than a padded seat bus more like.

Judging by the comments on here I'm expecting to be the only one on it

Yer can have my seat - I'm driving!

I used to get on that back in the day. I’m gonna give it a try, can’t arsed walking from Oldham Road which is where I had to park against Burnley

Think you misunderstood me. I’d love it to be a success. It’s an admirable idea. But let’s be straight, we’re a first class team with a tenth rate infrastructure - it’s a fucking nightmare getting to and from the ground and has been since we moved from Maine Rd. as a club we could, and should have spent millions on developing a high speed transport system to and from the ground. It would necessitate local government involvement but ££££ talks.

That is not City's responsibility though and Rail projects are staggeringly expensive in this Country these days.

In the 80's BR put a station in at Derby (Rams Halt), used it on the City special once!
It is now closed and was only ever used something like half a dozen times it was open!
My point is, things were easier to do then but nowadays it would cost a fortune.

 

[Salford in the City]

Used to get the special bus from Salford Precinct to Maine Rd, late 70's-early 80's.

Some lively times getting back off when it returned!

i used to know a lad who was a rear gunner, but that's an whole new conversation

We’ll never get there.
