Well he is trying to. It’s a huge task untangling years of bureaucracy and mismanagement though. Especially when private companies are involved who like throwing spanners around like confetti.You have to laugh that Burham bloke slagging off Transpennine trains as being crap (they probably are) but self awareness, sort out the transport problems closer to home.
Put it this way, I've not seen or heard him calling the trams out and he does like a little media spotlight moment.Well he is trying to.

I hate the trams myself but the performance of Metrolink is way above that of the trains as far as I can tell. We have a poor service to the Etihad for various reasons and it won’t change much until better infrastructure is built which will be a while. He’s not sat on a pot of money to fix that.Put it this way, I've not seen or heard him calling the trams out and he does like a little media spotlight moment.

Tbf the hectors always make sure the elderly, disabled and wheelchair users get on first after the game. But trying to get on pre match when they are already rammed must be a nightmare
100% this is about London sharing the cash, not hording it.I hate the trams myself but the performance of Metrolink is way above that of the trains as far as I can tell.

Your second point feels like it would fit better in the politics thread. Part of his job is to be visible to the voters, demonstrate the work he is trying to do and point out issues affecting his area of influence. Not sure how he can do this without using the media.
He certainly is trying, jumped on the gravy train and no intention of getting off. The bloke is a useless tosser.Well he is trying to.

Regarding transport in GM, what did you expect him to have done by now that makes him a "useless tosser" in your eyes? Although judging by your profile location, I may be heading down a rabbit hole.He certainly is trying, jumped on the gravy train and no intention of getting off. The bloke is a useless tosser.
Put it like this I contacted him (his office) some time ago to complain about the Metrolink service witha special emphasis on overcrowding. My correspondence clearly showed my gender as Male but the waffling reply from some minion was addressed Dear Madam. Now I expect a sarcastic reply from you, but it will be water off a ducks back to me.Regarding transport in GM, what did you expect him to have done by now that makes him a "useless tosser" in your eyes?
