Love public transport, hate poor service. Passenger over Profit. Campaigning for high-standard public transport across Greater Manchester and The North.

⚠️ Read below for change of frequency from 12 & 6-min services to 15 & 7.5-min from Monday 30th March until ‘Autumn’.

@BeeNetwork @TheCoopLive Why run so many single trams on the Ashton line, then? There’s becoming less every Sunday and you’re insisting on running less doubles as clearly ‘no one travels in a city’.

4-5 singles in a row?! It’s actually laughable how tight you are on Sundays.

No peaks, no shortage.

Another shocking Sunday tram service for ‘our’ @BeeNetwork 🤩

A giant festival at @MediaCityUK, less lines serving Piccadilly and 4-5 single trams in a row!

Less travel on Sundays, but not THAT less.

“Obsessed with making Sundays as uncomfortable as possible.”

Inciting violence? Asking for riots and destruction of our streets?

Sounds like one for @metpoliceuk, surely?

The fear of being called racist was greater than dealing with Henry Nowak’s murder.

We should respond to this with pure cold rage.

Britain’s historic way of life is being thrown away.

It’s the @Great_Run in #Manchester!

Welcome to our great city.

The trams are expected to be VERY busy today, make sure you use the whole platform if your service is a double, and says ‘dbl’ on the board.

Good luck!

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

The Bristol-Birmingham-Manchester rail arch being just an hourly 4 carriage service is ridiculous. 3 of Britain's core cities contributing billions to the national GDP all on a 3 hour train ride. It should be atleast half hourly trains with 8-12 carriages.

[GM Transport Movement @TheGMTM]

Dead cloudy mate

[GM Transport Movement @TheGMTM]

Well, it’s definitely not an ‘all electric’ service like @LumoTravel continue claim and say they are, and @BBCLancashire are using an image of a train that definitely isn’t running these services.

In fact, it’s a dirty old diesel Meridian.

False advertising?

🐝 Greater Manchester has ordered 125 more electric Bee Network buses from Wrightbus, supporting UK manufacturing and moving the region closer to a fully electric bus fleet by 2030, while improving air quality across the city region.

anyway time to have a quick look at how the WCML is holding up 🤩

[GM Transport Movement @TheGMTM]

@BeeNetwork @seanygravy There’s no services running between Victoria and Rochdale, and run an all-double service between Eccles-Ashton daily when works aren’t on. There can’t be a shortage of vehicles at the moment.

This clearly isn’t true at all, and there’s doubles galore between Bury & Altrincham!🤣
