nice buzz about the place. Here is a few pictures I tool yesterday thought I
would get them out the way before the manic week starts. I'm back at Ashton
on Friday and Saturday for my overtime days before 2 days off. I'm not in
until 930today which is annoying because I wanted to see the Monday morning
rush at Woodlands as everyone came off the tram. There is supposed to be a 3
minute service at peak today which means 16 buses running this route at busy
times. I will be doing the evening service however when people are fed up
tired and just want to go home so I have that to look forward too. I'm sure
my electric smile will heal there misery lol Yeah right!!!
Interestingly, I thought this week I would have a sit back and not worry
about what ticket people have when they got on. WRONG..On Saturday I
realised people were treating it like a free Woodlands Road to Piccadilly
bus service and just walking on without paying. Since then I have turned
away about 50 people and even snatched my first expired college pass which I
wasn't expecting this week. Good old pass watch, May it continue...
Interesting pics there. I always find the layout and arrangement of the buses in the depots really interesting. Whenever I'm at Daw Bank in Stockport I always try to sneak a look inside.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Princess Road, great depot. Good pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the main services Princess Road do?
ReplyDeleteDo they do all the buses down to East Didsbury like the 42, 43, 142 , 143 etc and the ones to the Trafford Centre.
I thought at one time they also did some of the 201s and 216s though?
They also do all the 100 services to wythenshawe, airport,altrincham & hospital...101,104,105,106,109.Very busy depot.They dug the parkway up a few years ago outside the depot and you could see the old cobbled road and the tram tracks leading into the depot. Be sad to see it go
