The 'big' bus moment we've been waiting four decades for is finally here

“I think it’s the biggest change to buses this country has seen in a long, long time”

#tfgm have put on a replacement bus service because of works on the Eccles line. Only problem is #SalfordCouncil have closed the road that the bus is supposed to be using.

From my 16 year old son, Dylan:

Chugging
Along the road
The Scania spins round
The corner. I really hope it's
Robust!

@katrinanavickas I got really excited last week when I saw my first pale yellow buses labelled with the Bee Network as I crossed the river to Salford. I don't think it officially starts until September but evidently they're rolling out the brand early. #TFGM
Well that's my response to the 2nd consultation on the #Leigh Traffic Scheme in. Damm sight better than their 1st attempt! Not sure why we need 3 crossings within <250 m of eachother, rather than some footpaths so you can get to the 2 already there though. Also extending the School Streets thing they keep pushing for is good but just open up the junction of Prescott St & Grasmere St again, so you can get round it without driving all round tiny 100 year old residential streets! #WiganMBC #TfGM

No idea what's going on with the 256 service in Stretford. One was missing, the next one arrived half an hour later, kicked everyone off at the Arndale and went out of service. In the meantime the 15, 23 and 255 buses into Urmston were going by every five or ten minutes.
