Looks like some overhead problems at Old Trafford currently, stopping the Alty trams running onwards from there.

Does it reduce cost? Sure, you might save on a couple of people doing it but by and large most train planners are rather busy? For example

That is interesting, so it's more than covering the loss of the Mk5s. Is this going to be a separate tender to the ones out now? Or an infill purchase of IEPs?

Didn't Central have a similarish livery to this at one point?

I'm hoping not for sure! Would be transformational and the fact they are still progressing the HS2 Phase 2b Bill in Parliament means it must still be open...

My understanding that it and IRP was agreed in 2021/2022 but not much has happened since?

In fairness, certainly back when I was commuting, a lot of patches on the 88 had poor 3G/4G signal and that could be impacting the tracking? In all cases, I would hope people would be reporting it to D&G so they could check more thoroughly!

I'm fairly sure ignoring booked stops is a big no-no for the Traffic Commissioner? I've heard reports that several other services miss out stops or ignore people walking to stops, I'm sure D&G don't intend to do it though!

Doesn't seem like an awful lot currently

I believe so, yes. The Route is being funded by BSIP funding from Cheshire West I believe, on a trial basis currently

Dots.

They are allowed to, it just isn't meant to be promoting Councillors, Candidates etc (So should come from the Lead for TfGM rather than the Mayor's office etc)

Lost down the back of the sofa!

There is a large Pay and Display car park next to the station however!

Yes the new N3 looks interesting, I hope it isn't just for a few weeks as I know it will go down well in Davenham and Moulton!
