Buses were queuing down all aisles of the bus station and were waiting over half an hour just to get to the lights leading to Portman Street. I'm guessing the wind played no small part, and maybe extra traffic in the City Centre because of the football that was supposed to be on at the Etihad and later called off, but I believe there was a serious accident on Wilmslow Road as well, so I wonder if that contributed.

Got caught in the chaos last night around 6pm, trying to get into Manchester on the 255. Huge line of buses on Portland Street and also into Piccadilly Gardens. The 255 I was on ended up blocking the exit from Piccadilly Gardens, which meant buses couldn't get out and buses couldn't get in because there were too many. It took some re-adjusting of buses inside Piccadilly Gardens to clear up the queue.
