I know people from that end moan relentlessly about the tram. But I’d seriously be more inclined to give it a go, than sat on a bus for all that time. Particularly for a midweek game, setting off bang in peak rush hour.

No.6 is getting worse every week.
30 minutes late yesterday and people are losing confidence in this service.
Might have preferred if it didnt turn up at all.
 
Bus 13 was late Sunday but only just, apparently the wing mirror had been taken off by something so they need a replacement bus, fair fucks it got us there on time, but the traffic around Manchester is getting worse, lots of business in city centre are looking at leaving as people can’t be arsed driving in anymore or using public transport. Too many roadworks just lead to massive queues.

I followed the MC15 into Middleton and thought where's that come from. Turns out it starts at some tuppenny bus stop in Castleton. I've emailed BeeNetwork to ask why it doesn't go from Rochdale, but if the general feeling on here is one of unreliability then I'll continue with the car.

I’ve no ideas how they picked the routes they do, the 13 has had a few problems but now you can track it you can make a decision on it, like I said it doesn’t help with roadworks etc fucking it all up, the whole infrastructure is slowly grinding to a halt around Manchester these days,I’m just glad I don’t have to commute anymore, I remember a few years ago over the period of about 5 years my 4 mile journey was taking 10 mins longer and if I set off 5 mins late I’d never get in to work on time.
 
Bus 11 excellent on Sunday. Standing room only on the return journey and back in Boothstown before 7.30.
 
No doubt this will have been discussed to death but can someone give me a quick idea on how these shuttle buses work and if they're worth the mither?

I was going to cycle to the match tomorrow but given the weather forecast it is probably not a good idea - what's the craic with the shuttle bus? (I am in Stockport).

I could get the 203 then the tram, or the Heaton chapel train (assuming they're not cancelled again) but that's a nightmare post-game.

Been good from Macclesfield. But weather (& the fact it’s a Saturday afternoon so raids busy anyway) might slow the journey
