    Transdev Blazefield

    The local maps have disappeared from the website as well eg Blackburn, Burnley and Rossendale networks. It’s a shame as this was something Transdev were really good at. Regarding physical leaflets none were available at Blackburn bus station when I passed through the other week. The desk...

    Bee Network - list of franchises awarded (Tranche 3 included)

    Stockport depot. The list at the top of this thread predates the introduction of the 379 in 2020. Notice the 312 isn't on the list and the 328 is on there for example. 1711709948 I'm still a little surprised that the 313 and 368 are under the Wythenshawe franchise. If a Stockport route was to be...

    TfGM Bee Network - fleet discussion

    A lot of E400 MMCs have moved from Middleton to Stockport presumably to replace some of the 20 reg Stockport examples that are now on Bee Network livery.

    TfGM Tranche 3 speculation

    First were quite happy with a small franchise in tranche 2 though (Rochdale).

    TfGM Tranche 3 speculation

    The 50 may not serve Wythenshawe but it’s only 2 miles from Sharston depot to the Parrs Wood terminus.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    https://www.railwaymedia.co.uk/Timetables/GM001/n-gnh7MF Yes, rerouted from Castle Hill on 30th July 2000. Back on topic and the list of franchised routes is a few years old so routes like 312 and 371 in Stockport don't appear. The 347 missing is quite a big omission though and the 103 is also...

    TfGM Tranche 3 speculation

    Yes that's true. I think the 11 would be a better bet from Wythenshawe if they needed to move a route from Stockport.

    TfGM Tranche 3 speculation

    The 313 and 368 are both Daw Bank routes. I wonder why they would switch to Wythenshawe.

    There are also over 100 Enviro 400s which are 08 reg.

    Former station names still in use today

    Plenty of people still call Stockport Station "Edgeley Station." There is a lovely piece of wall art at Shaw Heath just near the Edgeley entrance. Shaw Heath https://maps.app.goo.gl/De9U2q7DtEK5wGTu8

    Bus restoration blog - former North Western KJA299G

    The bus looks great and it rode well at the North Western centenary event. I’m not old enough to remember North Western but I do remember this vehicle turning up on my school bus for Bullock’s of Cheadle.

    Trivia: where indirect routes are more frequent between towns

    For example, the quickest route from Burnley to Accrington is the 9 which takes 25 minutes however there are only 4 journeys per day. The M1 bus also links Burnley and Accrington every 30 minutes but goes via Padiham on a less direct route taking 47 minutes. Are there other examples where a...

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    Is there a reason that the 72 reg Streetlites at Huddersfield are not in the HD connect livery. It looks a bit odd when the rest of the fleet is in HD connect livery.

    Paper Bus Timetables - are they Back in Your Area?

    I was aware of a leaflet for the x93/4 last year but haven’t seen one this year. Good news if there is one but as mentioned above it should be widely available with all other tourist leaflets.

    TfGM Bus franchising

    The other issue here is that towns like Bury and Bolton or Altrincham and Ashton would both have the same prefix. Also there would be potential confusion with a long established route like the 8 from Bolton to Manchester. SELNEC had the right idea 50 years ago.

    Where should the line be drawn between displaying “City Centre” and the actual name of the city on bus destination screens?

    Translink Foyle Metro service 1A shows City Centre on inbound journeys and that technically crosses an international border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
