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

[Citizen of Legoland]

Apologies for the delay updating the website, its now fully updated, with pre-match times. The post match buses will depart 25 mins after final whistle.

Thanks. Do you know what zone the new Whitefield stop comes under? It’s still got last season’s details for ticket prices.

MC07 leaving New Mills right on time. Nice yellow Bee Network bus.

First time on the bus. And the last.

Great getting here. But why park in the college car park and be sat there with a full bus until 3pm and now just sat in the traffic?
Should be on alan turing way and leave before they open the road. Game finished 45 mins ago and still not even on alan turning way

MC03 doing a crazy diversion through Guide Bridge, instead of turning right down Stamford Road, did the same going! Tram for me next time!

The buses aren’t about being the fastest way home, they’re about being the most convenient (for those it’s convenient for, mainly those who don’t want to walk back into town or queue stood up for ages to get squashed on the tram).

Being sat on a bus for 35 mins before it set off (full by the way) and then taking an hour and a quarter to get home isnt convenient to anyone

Bus 8 from Macc, today, was on time at each stop. Took best route & it was the fastest journey yet. Great service. Coming back was just as good. Bus full both directions.

I don’t think you’ve understood my post. How else would you have got home? Would it mean walking a fair distance or standing in a queue to get on a busy tram or later have to make a connection elsewhere?

I don’t use the buses because I too think they’re slow but I can walk to town after the game. They’re probably a god-send for many though.

Saw a bus said shuttle 222 or something is that part of this service ? Also can you use an FOC pass on these buses

I think I saw that too, Bee Network stickers on the side but I can’t see it on the BN website.

It was at the 216 bus stop going to Ashton. Was full and moved off just as I got near

Yes pal, you can use your pensioner bus pass.
I've used it for the last couple of seasons,and my wife has attended about 6 matches with me last season when my friend was on holiday.
And her pass was used on each occasion with no problems.

No this one was turning up Alan Turing Way near Asda and had MCFC Express or something on the front. Might have been one of the shuttle buses and the driver had changed the number temporarily idk.

If it’s one of the three shuttle buses, they need to be booked via the City website before the game, but I don’t see a price for concessions, just Adult or Junior.

So the shuttle buses are a separate service run by city ?

I think so but I’m not 100% on the arrangement.

Bus number MC14 from The Co-op Arena to Oldham.
