@MarcIles It will be 50 years on the 24 August, since Kevin Olsson, was stabbed to death during a game between Blackpool and Bolton! I was 21 at the time and I’ve never forgot the young fan left home to watch a match & never went home!

@NickBuckleyMBE Kindly start with allowing 13,800 GM licensed private hire vehicles the same freedom to roam as taxis, through bus gates! Why should M/c council allow taxis but not PHV’s TfGM state online Travel vouchers can be used to pay PHV fares? Travel shortest route councillors state!

@bwfcbwfc Luke also took a knock, just got up and ran it off !

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@RobertMatheso19 He took a knock early on and carried on playing

@BBCRMsport @TheJackDearden I think your body talk did all the talking!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@dragonstorm16 @JimTheWanderer1 Certainly a red for Jones, but the theatrical performance of the player rolling about was surely a yellow card ! I hope Gordon Taylor took note of!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@TheBoltonNews Never forget your roots and the local economy! Be proud of being stood in Bolton!

@journeymanstev1 @AsdaServiceTeam @TfLTPH @asda @CityWestminster Any chance of providing a photo of the upright sign that accompanies this rank? as some taxi ranks are dual use i.e. used for loading!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@ILoveMCR Great facility, but should it be built here? increase in traffic = increase in emissions + more congested roads in the area especially at peak times!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@bwfc_archie5 Charles missed 90 minutes of the previous game & went for an early bath the game before, Evatt should keep Charles on the pitch!Absolutely poor substitution what he’s doing with subs, Charles and Demps past games with 2 goals a piece and takes them off whilst on a roll?

@JeremyVineOn5 1.4 million vehicles fail the emission test, taxis & PHV’s can be mandated to take & pass 3 MOT’s inc emission tests per annum, yet a brand new vehicle can fail the E test at 6 months old but it could take a further 2.5 months to diagnose & fix!

@JeremyVineOn5 80.9K members of GM Facebook Rethink the clean air zone - Greater Manchester

@JeremyVineOn5 show the stats and death certificates due to emissions killing a people in the UK?

@spkenny67 At one of the first meetings at 5 locations x parts of GM TfGM Officers asked us what we thought of LPG, one of 5 attendees said he had a LPG voted yes & I stated yes as Lyle had 10 New PHV’s, here’s the slide shown!

@Transport4North No set down or pick up points at M/c Shudehill tram & bus interchange, it’s not alone, why? treat 13,800 GM licensed Private hire vehicle disabled passengers as equal to 2,100 taxi passengers, include both through bus gates not just taxi!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@Transport4North Gov Report “It should be borne in mind that there are people with disabilities for whom the existing models of wheelchair accessible taxi are not suitable & who prefer to use saloon cars” Disabled & Elderly need Set down & pick up points at transport interchanges

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@Transport4North Bus patronage & overall bus miles declined well before bus deregulation, BD actually increased OBM but still BP kept on falling, so once again they reduced OBM Concentrate on returning local factories & major employers & more residents will walk, cycle & catch a bus a few stops!

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@OfficialTfGM Not to worry, the last time they serviced this rail they suspended , the bus lanes on Eccles Old Road & they have remained suspended ever since, reducing emissions & kept all traffic moving inc buses & benefited the local economy

[Tom Rook @TomRook6]

@NetworkRailLIV I visited Liverpool on Thursday, on the return trip from Lime St,I found your staff under extreme pressure due to many trains cancelled, two of your staff at the plat 1 - .. ticket barriers shown both are a credit to your company, very helpful with a smile 10/10

@JaffaJerstice It needs reviewing by the EFL!
