Hello, I am really sorry you had a long journey home last night, roadworks can be really frustrating!

You will be happy to know that the Lane closure on Oldham Road will reopen on the 28th April so hopefully you have a smoother journey home next time.

When I checked the roadworks along the match day bus routes for last nights fixture, I didn't see anything for Broadway, I have just looked again and can just see scheduled works for this Friday, but still nothing for last night, I am sorry for this. It is possible that they were emergency works as usually the permits for emergency works come in after they have started which is frustrating as we can't prepare for them in advance.

Not your fault mate thanks for the response I think the service is excellent by the way just a bit cheaper next season please ;)

@matchdaybus Yes, fair play to your quick and honest replies. Working in customer service I can imagine you are just as annoyed this has happened to people. Hopefully you’ll get it sorted.

Quite mad though how the basics aren’t always being met for this.
All the bus driver has to do is turn up at each stop at a set time and smile. Simple.

Yet it seems times are wrong and then the drivers are being an arse about it. Shame.

Thank you for this information, I will look into who was driving that night and speak to the operator. I am not 100% sure that would be possible, but I can certainly put the suggestion forward for you.

I know it sounds a bit needy but a bus with a toilet on the longer routes would be a bonus, the Macc bus MC8 can take best part of 2hrs going to
The Etihad for night games if traffic’s bad.

Some rail stations have 24/7 disabled toilets accessible via a radar key (Bramhall for instance according to National Rail). Possibly incorporate a stop at one on the longer routes?

the driver on bus i was on kept giving me a hand full of nuts

That's the advert on TV where the little girl sucks all the chocolate off the nuts and then puts them back in the bowl.
And then the black guy is commenting to the girl behind the chemist counter that he has no idea where his cold originated from.
 
For anyone interested

New bus service starting Wolves .

The booth steeet parking rate is £6 and can be booked through mcfc website parking. £2 for bus.

Hello everyone,

As I mentioned previously, we've been working on integrating the matchday buses into the Bee Network app so you can easily track them in real time. I'm pleased to let you know that we're running a trial of this feature tomorrow on MC8 and MC9.

If you're planning to use either of these buses for tomorrow’s fixture, please give the app a try and let us know how it goes. Your feedback will be really helpful as we look to improve the service and roll it out across all matchday bus routes.

Thanks for your continued support, we look forward to hearing how you find it!

Has this been removed from the BN app now? I can't see those buses listed any more. Was the trial just for a couple of games? It would be great if we could get it fully integrated into the app.
 
I see they are presenting KDB after the Bournemouth game, what the chances of the buses delaying so we can watch?

Just piss into a lucozade bottle and throw it out the window at an opposition fan, have you never been on an away day?

Hello, we have taken this into consideration and buses will depart 30 minutes after the final whistle for the Bournemouth fixture.
