It’s a power game. They want to take back control, but can’t go back to a regulated system so this is the next best thing but will cost them via tax payers pockets a hell of a lot of money.

You will see from the comments above from certain members, who believe the system in Manchester is broken and will suddenly get better under public control - the reality is it will get worse.

The whole thing has been over shadowed by fare caps offering punters a cheaper deal but once the new system is up and running it will be a mirror image of the tram system with expensive fares while they try and recoup some of the costs of it all.
