Greater Manchester Franchising

RE: Greater Manchester Franchising
I had issues when I worked at Trafford Centre and M.M.U

When I was at the Trafford centre I had allow 2 hour travel time from Oldham due to lack of options when it would probably only take 30 minutes in the car.

I had to get the tram to Trafford Bar then 250 to Trafford Centre or Tram to Victoria then 100. I used to finish at 8pm and didn't get home until turned 10.

When I worked at Co-op Oxford Road at the Uni I had to be up at 3.30 am for 5.30/6am start so I could get the 83 and 250/86 e.t.c but back in 1986 I could have simply gotten the 82 Waterhead to Chorlton bus straight there every day I do hope they bring that service as it would provide a great alternative to the tram if that fails.

also another route suggestion is a Bury - F.G.H - Roch Vale - Kirkholt - Royton - R.O.H - Oldham to restore a much needed Bury service to Oldham. whislt making it easier for people from Oldham to access Fairfield Hospital
