Manchester

What cities do you want to visit?

I haven’t been to Manchester for years. I like it because it is a cultural centre. Galleries and Theatres and museums. But traffic is difficult. All the routes I used to know have changed. There are more bus lanes and priorities have changed. I got stuck in the city centre about five years ago. We had to turn round in a one way street and follow a bus lane to get out! Luckily I wasn’t fined.

Other problems include the train service, our last train from Manchester is always too early. You can’t stay for a drink after a theatre visit, there is no way to travel unless you take the car, and with carbon taxes it’s not possible to drive into the city centre in a pre millennium car.

  1. Yikes! I would like to visit Manchester, also, as it’s the seat of the Industrial Revolution. I would stay a few nights after arriving by train. Hope you make it there one day.

      1. Will definitely check it out when I get to go. Had to cancel my last trip due to Covid. My dog, Buddy, is 16 now, so I don’t want to leave him for more than a week. I’m here in Arizona, USA, so I don’t want to go overseas for less than two weeks.
