Great work Andy, you've created a model for all councils. I remember the orange and white GMPTE buses.

Want to go between somewhere to the north of Manchester and somewhere to the south by train in 1986? Your best choice was probably including a walk right the way across Manchester city centre. It's incredible looking back how much the GMPTE rail service at the time was in two halves.
Greater Manchester's Railways - poster map issued in Dec. 1986 & making a play on the use of the BR Pacer trains as seen here in PTE livery. Soon we'll be seeing yellow Bee Network trains but possibly not a Pacer! #manchester #railways #trains #britishrail #map

Me: it's strange that people get so passionate and excited about their passport being a different colour
Also Me: Ooooh a GMPTE orange and brown bus with 255 on the side - that's the proper colour, it should always have been that colour.

Lucky Leigh! Macclesfield, only 6 miles further away from Piccadilly station by road, takes 2 hours on the bus. Fastest trains take 20 mins. There are/(were) lots of commuters, but the town is outside GMPTE, so train fares are £££, too.
