RE: First Manchester
Problems with First Manchester services heading/leaving Manchester Via Shudehill area yesterday afternoon due to incorrectly phased traffic lights at Rochdale Road/Abingdon Street junction saw major delays build up during the afternoon from about 13:00 onwards, it didnt help either that junction of Oldham Street/Dale Street was being controlled by temporary traffic lights duue to the closure of the bottom of Oldham Street.

Leaving Shudehill Bus Stationn some buses were having to wait about 3 or more cycles of lights due to the shear amount of traffic trying to head up Rochdale Road and traffic wanting to get to Church Street was having an extra 10mins or more added to the journey time due to the temporary traffic lights at Oldham St/Dale Street as I mentioned
