Manchester traffic

[quiet_riot]

Scooter in rain like tonight's? No ta!

 

[remember arthur mann]

I'm not buying a fucking moped either

My missus works in Manchester and always either gets the train or the tram, its so much easier apparently. I quite like being on my own in the mornings though so not sure if i could put up with a train full of people, i also hate people as well tbf which makes world life quite difficult.

Well it’s getting worse. I seem to spend half my life on the Mancunian way.

Thinking tonight about what would solve it.

One - a proper tram line from didsbury right up wilmslow road, through fallowfield and into town. Gets a lot of those buses and cars off the road.

2 - radical but promote a scheme for everyone to drive scooters. Seems to happen more in other cities like Paris and Rome.

3 - car share incentive scheme.

4- promote work from home schemes in the city

5 - seriously with all the new developments something radical needs to happen

Dare we get an underground system?

even Glasgow has an underground

Would take years of building an underground to make a dent in the traffic issues in Manchester, its taking forever just to build the Metrolink extension to the Trafford centre. Could you imagine how long it would take to build half an underground network that London has? I think there would be more chance of us building a teleportation device quicker.

Isn't there already a network of underground tunnels throughout the city?

It would probably be easier and cheaper to start from scratch than to try using any of them.

He used to be funny Jasper - I think it all went wrong when he tried to go political. Shame really.
