Lentil Man

@BeeNetwork Hi team, so in the end the Bee Network rep advised to board an Altrincham bus, get off at Trafford Bar and walk 20 mins to Firswood. This is abysmal service. 2 hours for a 7 mile journey.

@BeeNetwork Im at Piccadilly Gardens and 2 buses have now arrived for Eccles. Please can you confirm if Chorlton buses are running? 30 mins so far.

Starting today [13 July], service changes and replacement bus services will be in place across the network until Sunday 2 August. No trams will operate on the Altrincham, Eccles and Trafford Park lines. Keep up to date with the latest travel advice on our dedicated webpage: tfgm.com/tram-improveme…

@BeeNetwork This has been one almighty shambles.

@Pastabake_ Hey there, we're really sorry for the disruption to your journey tonight. I've logged your feedback with the team.

@BeeNetwork Another bus for Eccles! That's three in a row. Please can you help us?!?!

@BeeNetwork I've used 3 replacement buses so far and not once has a driver or rep at the bus stop checked. To be fair they could just be isolated incidents but just feels unfair that's all.

Good Morning, Shell signing in! ☺️ We’ll be here to help with your journeys until 8pm this evening. Don’t forget to check our travel alerts hub for any disruption to services: beenetwork.com/travel-updates📱 Have a good day! 👍

@LilHay @BeeNetwork I think my 'moaning' is justified when it's taken me over 2 hours to get to Manchester, and I'm not allowed to use other Bee Network buses.

@Pastabake_ @BeeNetwork It’s an absolute shit show and they need to do better. It’s an absolute joke. However I don’t think u can moan about having purchased a monthly tram ticket, as it’s been known for months that these works were happening. So maybe should’ve got weekly ticket till the works started

@BeeNetwork Hi, really silly question here...Im heading towards Piccadilly, can i get the replacement bus from Chorlton or is it only Firswood ? Thanks

@BeeNetwork @jakeysimps11 This finally arrived but basically the queue is now that extreme, this will be at least an hour wait if you just arrive.

@jakeysimps11 Hi there. I'm sorry to hear this, I'll get this reported to our Control Room. Sorry for any delay to your journey this morning.

@BeeNetwork Thank you!

@Pastabake_ Yes, you'd get the replacement bus from Piccadilly (ow.ly/f9Lf2000OAI) to Firswood where you can board a tram to East Didsbury.

@BeeNetwork Thank you. I presume coming home I'd get the replacement bus from Piccadilly to Firswood also?

Hi there. No problem, you can get the tram from East Didsbury to Chorlton/Firswood where you should alight and board a replacement bus to Piccadilly. You can then get the tram from Piccadilly to Victoria. If you're able to, you can alight the bus at St Peter's Square or Piccadilly Gardens and walk down to Victoria if you prefer.

@BeeNetwork Hi, I can see that trams are running to east Didsbury from Victoria still, albeit at a reduced schedule. Is this correct? If they are still running I'll take my chances over the bus. Thanks

@BeeNetwork Hi, why isn't the 42/142 43/143 included for the replacement bus towards Didsbury please?

@BeeNetwork At Victoria station

@Pastabake_ Hi, can you please confirm where you are waiting for an East Didsbury tram? We unfortunately do have delays across the network at the moment.

@BeeNetwork hi team, been waiting 10 mins for East Didsbury tram but still no mention of it on the departure board. Please can you confirm? Ta

@BeeNetwork hi - is there an issue on the East Didsbury line? Im at Victoria and no trams are appearing for Didsbury, only going as far as Trafford Bar?

@BeeNetwork People are stuck on the tram now. I can confirm the trams are not moving.

@Pastabake_ Hi, we are currently experiencing minor delays on the East Didsbury line due to a points fault and a tram fault however, trams are on the move. Ticket acceptance is not in place on bus services.

Remember that scene in Waynes World when Wayne abandoned Garth and they were counting down before going back to live?! I could see Barry with Garths hair mumbling to himself @maxrushden #talksport
