What we need is ...... A MONORAIL !!
instead of this fucking daft tram system
What we need is ...... A MONORAIL !!
Took me one hour to get across the Mancunian way last night and getting home tonight similar.
It would appear to me that the city’s growth is making travelling into the city centre by car almost impossible at times. I am sure it is getting worse.
One thing that struck me tonight was how many people stuck in the traffic only had one person on the car. Surely car sharing clubs are a significant way forward?
Interested to know other peoples expereniances of getting in and out of town and what you think the answer is.
I'm stunned at the stuff people still travel for. Someone I know has changed job twice on a little under 6 months with the NHS - both roles in Manchester. Both times they've had to travel to London, with an overnight stay, to complete induction training. Fucking joke, but it's public money, so who cares.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.
Yesterday's trip home must've been a record - averaged about 4 miles an hour on my drive home. Keep it up Manchester!
Last night was a shocker. There was an accident on the M60 at Worsley and another on the roundabout at Simister Island. That just has a knock-on effect, first around North Manchester/Salford, then the major arterial routes then the city centre. Plus the extra traffic not using the motorway overwhelms our inadequate road system.Yesterday's trip home must've been a record - averaged about 4 miles an hour on my drive home. Keep it up Manchester!
The more you drive around, the more you realise what a bunch of wankers we are to each other, just a few I've spotted recently (and I don't drive a lot)
1. Jumping red lights is a sport.
2. Doing u-turns on major roads (some dickhead doing one on Stockport Road on Saturday).
3. Speeding is just a given.
4. Jumping red lights.
5. Majority have absolutely no idea how to negotiate roundabouts (do we still need these fucking things).
6. Indicators appear to be optional.
7. Texting and using a mobile phone while driving is an everyday occurrence.
8. Jumping red lights.
9. Cyclists are (on the whole) wankers.
10. Going round corners at 2mph - I'm not condoning speeding, but for fuck sake GET ROUND THE FUCKING CORNER.
11. Fucking lazy twatting ballbags picking kids up from school in a car when they live 10 mins away.
12. Double fucking parking on the school run.
13. Jumping red lights....
