Rochdale's new Interchange revealed (Updated)
Here's a first look at plans for Rochdale's new transport Interchange. The new facility will be on Smith Street, next to the River Roch and is lightyears ahead of the current concrete monstrosity. While originally intended to serve Metrolink trams as well as buses, the interchange became bus onl...
The Drugs Don't Work: Yes, he seems to have escaped this photo - very unusual!
Jimmymac: I think the days of limited stop services to suburban destinations are gone. The only ones left go quite some distance - the X34, X57 and X84, for example. Yes, I imagine we'll see X5 branded service all over the place once the novelty wears off.

Stagecoach unveils X50 route branding
Look what just dropped into our mailbox - a picture of what Stagecoach's new X50, due to start on Sunday, will look like. The express service running between Piccadilly and the Trafford Centre should be a hit with passengers unhappy with the amount of time Stagecoach's 250 service takes to compl...
Yes, the blog's not dead. Industrial action aside, it's been a quiet September!

Stagecoach Manchester up for UK Bus Award
The UK Bus Awards nominees were announced today and Greater Manchester's operators are virtually nowhere to be found. The one local name representing the region is Stagecoach Manchester. Stagecoach Manchester is up for City Operator of the Year and faces stiff competition from First Glasgow...
Hi Ron, I haven't barred you from anywhere. What "Vulgar profanities" have I quoted to you? I still have all the comments you left here which were both vulgar and profane. Anyway, there's no point arguing - we obviously both want peace. You're welcome to comment here on the blog as long as it relates to the subject and is not offensive. Thanks.

Stringer spells out a push for Quality Contracts
Graham Stringer, MP for Blackley, has been busy getting his name into the papers over the past week. While it's hard to find sympathy with his views on Dyslexia (in a nutshell, that it's made up to cover up poor teaching), you can't fault his enthusiasm for Greater Manchester's public transpor...
Hi Ron. Seriously, I don't know why you chose here to let loose your hateful diatribes.
Yes, I am an atheist but the difference is that I respect your belief in God while you seem to be filled with hate for anyone different to you. Turn the other cheek and ignore the atheist bus ad campaign if you disagree with it. You also need to learn about grammar and punctuation.
Thanks, Martin.

A godless start to the year
It's a quiet start to the year when it comes to Manchester bus news. Stagecoach Manchester have some changes coming up but, aside from the previously mentioned conversion of the 157 (Manchester - Woodford) service to a limited stop X57, it's all timetable tweaks to improve reliabaility. Much m...

Manchester bus operators on Facebook
A post on Omnibuses yesterday discussed First Group's only foray into Social Media, a blog, Twitter account and Facebook page for Bath bus station, closing next week due to spending cuts. After we'd stopped laughing at the idea of closing down one of the most cost-effective forms of marketing ...

Thanks for that link Rob - I've been checking the GMITA site all week. Looks like someone hasn't been doing their job properly over there! :)
Commented May 25, 2009 on Cross-city nightbus link axed at Manchester Buses
Cross-city nightbus link axed
Well, at least they tried. When Stagecoach launched nightbus services from Shudehill Interchange to destinations in south Manchester last year it was hailed as a boon to Northern Quarter and Printworks revellers. Then recently Stagecoach axed these routes and replaced them with a shuttle bus, ...
