Greater Manchester Fantasy Network - Mikeonthebuses - 22/09/2019 08:23
I'm going to be sharing my ideas on how the Greater Manchester bus network can be simiplefried and better connected. to get manchester moving again and better connected.
I'm currently working out some routes ideas using data from 1986 network and the modern day network to create routes which will work.
I will release route in batches of ten as they get ready and I will showcase how many present day routes cover the proposed routes. I love to push the boundarys with my ideas to get the best out of the network.

FreeBee 6 - Victoria Station - Piccadilly Station via NOMA, Ancoats, Manchester Piccadilly, Brook Street, Central Hospitals, Universitiy, Oxford Road Station, Bridgewater Hall, Midland Hotel, Albert Square, Spring Gardens, Coach Station [Ignore the routing up newton street as it not doable instead it now will terminate at Piccadilly Station]
