@billybragg morning Billy, looking forward to seeing you at the Apollo on Thursday, remember seeing Red Wedge there back in the day. What are the stage times for Manchester on Thursday? Are you coming over to threads? Ta!
@BeeNetwork Ahh, interesting. The screen at market street is showing delays on the Rochdale line due to a medical emergency, this morning the boards and app didn’t seem to match. Is this likely to be a teething issue?
@BeeNetwork Can I check the status of tram lines on the new bee app like I used to be able to on the old metrolink app? Trying to find out if the bury line is running because there are no trams showing as due on the app.
@MCRMetrolink Yesterday a colleague said that an ‘undercover ticket inspector’ (not in any uniform) was working on the Bury line, checking people’s tickets by getting them to hold their bank cards against his machine. Sounds seriously dodgy to me. Have you heard of this?
@northernassist Travelling from Hebden Bridge to Manchester this evening. Two trains cancelled so need to claim delay repay. Website needs a ticket uploaded but the barriers took my ticket. What do I do???
@RealMancsy It’s a much more pleasant version of twitter, still some functionality to be added so currently no search/hashtags which might mean it’s not right for you atm but def one to watch.
@mcrmetrolink, @MayorofGM please stop your ticket machines from printing card receipts. Such a waste of paper and there’s an option to print a receipt if needed. Ideally you’d bring daily tickets back in the app which would be even better as I can’t trust swiping in/out.
Brilliant walking tour yesterday (and I’ve been on loads) Told me stories I’d never heard before and prompted me to ask my neighbour if she’d ever watched Cracker. “Watched it? I was in it!” And another tale begins #MIF
Women of Manchester, come down to Victoria Station to experience a rare phenomenon. There’s a massive queue for the men’s loos and we can walk straight into the women’s. We have Iron Maiden to thank.
