Maybe when it's Pride weekend in Manchester they should use the Beartown buses - they could go down well.

Quote:However many think that D&G would've made a better job of this than GHA do currently. Heard some very good comments made by passengers using the eve runs to east didsbury.

When GHA first took over the 42 Crewe-Congleton route there was criticism in the local media about the new operator not being as good as D&G. I'm sure not how opinion will have changed now GHA have had the chance to solve any initial teething problems and have introduced Gold Enviro 200s.

I don't know a lot about D&G but punctuality and reliability on the 300 route improved significantly following D&G taking it over from High Peak, not that High Peak were a hard act to follow. People comment on the 27 Knutsford-Macclesfield bus having better punctuality since it went to GHA/Vale, which also was previously High Peak.

Personally I think other than the Derbyshire-Macclesfield services High Peak shouldn't try to run services in Cheshire. It's one thing blaming an accident or snow near the Cat and Fiddle for not running a Macclesfield-Buxton bus, it's another thing for using that excuse for not running services which start and end in Cheshire.
