Brilliant.Got the shuttle bus tickets for today and curious to know people’s experiences using the bus to get there?
I’ve seen huge queues for these but do they move quickly / smoothly , or should I just get an Uber there and save the hassle?
Don't leave it too late as the queues will get bigger.
I got the bus from Lever Street about 4:30pm.
A steward checked my Bee Network App and gave me a yellow wrist band. I queued up for 10 minutes. We were counted on to the bus. I was the last one on the bus. It was full but not overcrowded. The journey took about 25 minutes. Traffic depending. The bus lanes made the journey faster. The bus stopped inside Heaton Park close to the metal barriers that lead to the concert area. Coming back the queues were much longer, but they were constantly moving. Buses were lined up. Once a bus was full it left. It took about 15 minutes to get back to the Shudehill Interchange.
It was really well organised. And made getting to and from Heaton Park very easy.
Enjoy the concert. I did. :-)
