Wow. Incredible, really. Does it get any more poor than this, NORTHERN 🚆? A resilience plan this sparse is beyond acceptable. To shut down a full railway station in the peak is a complete failure, and is effectively unfit for purpose.

That’s the second tram fault in one day on the same line. What’s going on with the trams Bee Network? There seems to be so many faults all of a sudden. Several, if not most days last week…

Another ‘tram fault’ on the Bee Network Ashton-Eccles line?! Is that the third day in a row? There are now more days in a week with faults than without. Something is going wrong here.

Hate and division have no place in our city. Britain First is not welcome in Manchester. We understand that far right groups cause alarm in our communities. We feel it too. (1/2)

That was the worst and most unsafe train journey I’ve experienced. CrossCountry Trains you should be ashamed. You lay on a dirty, old train. And allow it to fill to the gunnels. People jammed in filling toilets, vestibules and luggage hold areas. Elderly and disabled people, and

Easily the worst private train operating company, using knackered and crap nearly 30 year old rolling stock, rented from a private rolling stock company for like a squillion quid.

Priceless to see the railway nerds barking ‘bUt BuT buT!!!!!’ and ‘no actually youre wrong’ and ‘bLaMe tHe dFt!!!!!’ as always. Fact is, Voyagers are short trains. With 1st class, that’s basically only a 3-car train on an Intercity service. Luckily XC have applied for more.

‘Oh b.. b… but the Altrincham line is exte..’ Nonsense. It always makes more sense to just offer more capacity throughout the day, especially when both events are post-6pm, after the peak. Now there’ll be single trams at the wrong time. Bee Network bought half-platform trams.

I’m no graphic artist, but wouldn’t it half look prettier if they’d rounded it on top of the darker grey window border? Though, can see the alignment points.

Manchester is open for business today. Plenty of people are out shopping, eating, drinking and enjoying everything our fantastic city has to offer. We have a number of protests today, Manchester - look out for each other and be kind ❤️ Debate should never lead to hate.

11:24 and single Bee Network trams from Bury-Piccadilly are already full because guess what! ‘No one travels on a Sunday!’ Completely untrue Let’s have Manchester Piccadilly shut, tell everyone that trams will be busier, and run less trams. Always testing how little we can cope with

The Class 397 ‘Nova 2’ is a very fast-accelerating EMU, if not one of the fastest accelerating units on the railway. Designed to speed up journeys and cut delays easily when late. So why are ⁦TPE Customer Assist⁩ operating them like slow-horse HSTs? It’s not the ‘Orient’ Express 😅
