@BeeNetwork people at Deansgate tram saying that they’re going to pick up a “revolver” and “AK47” from Wilmslow and have a bomb in their bag - they got on Ashton via Piccadilly tram at 16:30. Please can this be looked into? Man and woman with a dog.
@richardbranson just wanted to say that my dad often said how thankful he was to employed by Virgin as a train driver. It's coming up to the 5th year anniversary of his death and I don't think was honestly ever happier in work than he was with Virgin. So thank you.
@ProfBrianCox what time of year do you think you’ll be doing talks in Manchester again (assuming in 2026 as part of your next tour). Completely missed the last dates but would love to come to the next one.
@BeeNetwork tram arriving at timperley now - drunk man just got on a the last stop making a lot of noise and opening a can of beer. Can nothing be done to prevent things like this?
@peterrhague @darinepling If you think it’s malpractice then there’s really nothing stopping you from suing the state - a relative of mine won a legitimate claim a long time ago, but it resulted in the death of their daughter so a bit worse.
@peterrhague I understand your frustration and you really do have my sympathy.
Although the NHS shouldn’t be like this - a similar service in America would probably result in a $100k bill (exaggerating).
The service is unsustainable without further funding.
@BeeNetwork not sure if it’s worth saying but a guy who just got off the tram at Deansgate Castlefield was on the phone saying things like “Europe is the enemy”, “I’m not sure Hitler was in the wrong” and “if you’re in the country, I’ve got a place to stay”.
@vincentA320@TobiFrenzen@RishiSunak I mean, yeah…
VAT, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, Stamp Duty… there’s plenty of ways to increase tax without affecting the average worker.
@BeeNetwork ticket machine at Sale (left machine towards Altrincham) has a weird printing/font issue - spacing of the letters on the ticket overlaps each other making it hard to read
@BeeNetwork just tapped on - first tram today - charge of £4.90 against card before I��ve gone anywhere, has this changed? I’m sure it was £0.10 or something up until now.
@MCRMetrolink what’s going on with the trams, major delays to Altrincham but nothing on any of the signs / website.
3x departing and one arrived doesnt seem quite right.
@MCRMetrolink are you offering refunds for those who struggled to get back to Altrincham last night due to “severe delays”?
Had to get a taxi in the end
