Amazing! Excellent news! Well done @andyburnham.bsky.social and the TfGM team!
Is there any data on how this has impacted businesses/high streets? I'm wondering if more active travel by foot or bike might be good for businesses and high streets? 🤔

One that sticks out in my mind was when TfGM accidentally included the entire mailing list in the CC field. They then tried to recall the email. So, of course, I read it, and I realised what had happened. In a way, the fastest breach notification I've ever received.

LCR are buying most of the new buses, particularly the electric ones. Same with TfGM, who have also been buying the existing fleets from the operators. Now fleets of vehicles can move between different depots across the region as required.

Mass transit as it should be! It’s all go at the junction of Corporation and Balloon Street just outside Victoria; Manchester shows how it’s done. Yellow everywhere, and the cutest little ‘toot’ horns!

The TfGM staff are so annoying. One of them just stood and watched me pay for a ticket, then as I tried to get on the tram (literally two feet away) blocked me from getting on the tram and insisted I get my wallet back out. What is the fucking point?

But for me, it's now time for a change. I'm really looking forward to working with some familiar faces at TfGM and continuing to tell the story of the Bee Network at such a pivotal time in its incredible journey so far!

Well done to everyone involved, particularly tfgm saying this was a double, the passengers not moving away from the doors when they enter so nobody can get on and the passengers crowding the door so nobody can leave.

I'm not sure how I feel about TfGM / Northern choosing a 323 as the train they vinyl-ed in yellow to promote next year's Bee Network rail expansion (given that GM got a load second hand from West Midlands when they upgraded to snazzier stock) but I would like to ride it.

This week's @freewheeling.info podcast about an award-winning, council owned bus company in one of the poorest parts of the country is a great listen.
Having sat on the TfGM "board" for a couple of years in the 2010s, the challenges of reporting up to councillors rang a few bells.

IIRC they’ve taken the bus gate out of the #Heywood town centre regeneration scheme, so my question for TfGM is how this will actually deliver on bus prioritisation? @walkriderochdale.org.uk
