New Bike

As part of my new green image - i bought a new bike and took the train to manchester with my bike

My observations,

1 £11 return journey - maybe a little expensive - should be £5?
2 No where to put the bike on the train, thus blocked the walk ways
3 only one other bike on the return journey

It is not rocket science, but a carriage should be available for all bikes to store them, cheaper fares (but we know that anyway!) and if we did this prior to the congestion charge in manchester it may make the transition easier

Congestion Charge in Manchester - now a reality

I can not hardly contain my excitment about the thought of the "congestion charge" in Manchester, sadly it is not coming in for a few years

It will mean less traffic in manchester and the roads leading into Manchester, also promisd capital sums of £1.6 billion to invest in the public transport, which is badly needed and hopefully evybody will start getting use to the idea years in adance

What will it mean to Crewe?

Hopefully any large companies wishing to locate in mManchester may just consider towns such as crewe to build teh new HQ's . So Crewe needs to be ready to court any firms that now have second thoughts on Manchester.
