What we need is ...... A MONORAIL !!
I use this every morning and don’t think it’s too bad. Your over the roundabout in less than 5 mins. I find the fact most people don’t know how to follow the lane guidelines really infuriating.Every morning the traffic at Denton roundabout, travelling along Manchester Rd towards Hyde, the queue of traffic backs up all the way to the golf club entrance. Except this morning it was clear as a bell with no queues on any of the junctions. Then I noticed - the traffic lights were out of action! They must have spent millions on that roundabout over the last three years and every time they f**k about with it it gets worse and yet all they need to do is turn the bloody lights off!!
What's with the feckin "bus gate" on Oxford Road. Been done for that, didn't even know it was a thing.
I very rarely drive in to Manchester, but had to on this particular day and last time it was an ordinary road. Money grabbing twunts.
We need a proper underground system, linked to the trams, over line and bus services, just like all other major developed city's. We need the sort of money that is being spent on London to sort out our infrastructure. Get rid of our nukes and spend the cash on something the country needs. Long term investment while borrowing is cheap is required. will also get the economy moving.
Everything will be OK when the £100 billion plus is spent on HS2
The money should be spent on high speed broadband for the country, why the need to travel to meetings etc when you can FaceTime conference call meetings.You will get from London to Manchester in 1.5 hrs than spend two hrs getting across town. The 100m should be spent on more capacity, and cheaper travel. Yes our transport system needs nationalisation. Too many city funds making a killing out of the publics misery.
It clearly is council policy to piss off the motorist - I am another Manc Way dweller most evenings. Gridlock.What's that useless ScouseGit of a mayor doing? Is he sitting on his arse or has he started building those homes for the homeless? I haven't got any figures to hand but has congestion got any worse since you silly bastards voted him in? I've noticed that it's generally taking a few minutes longer to get to and from The Etihad since ScouseShoutyAndy parked his ample arse on the mayoral throne!
