You may have noticed the last couple of days I haven't posted pics on here, because I haven't really seen anything other than the usual (Ashton! 😂).
From this week- my posts will become a little less frequent, but hopefully more varied and not yellow 'BeeZLs' or 'BeeMMCs'!
On this day 8 years ago: 26/10/2018..
SK68 LZF on what may be the only ever time it did the 159 as an MCT bus, only for both the bus and the route to end up at Stotts post Covid..
And then Bee Network came about- this bus is now up is Scotland with SD Travel.
It's come a bit far for this!! A Scania MMC from North Yorks!

I don't know what @BeeNetwork were thinking when they decided to only run a tram replacement as far as Media City when there is both the 30 and 50 between Manchester and Media City.
Meanwhile Media City to Eccles has no direct link. 🤡
With no trams running and replacement buses only going to MediaCity, the 33 bus service is packed and having to drive past people waiting at stops. Buses are also running nearly an hour behind.. @BeeNetwork
