TWO MORE LOCATIONS TICKED OFF THE BUS TO DO LIST

Today it was a blustery Oldham and equally windy Keighley for buses. A great time in Oldham although hanging on to the camera and avoiding being blown over was a priority. Really friendly First Group drivers, notably so and it was possibly the most friendly excepting enthusiast run Burton on Trent!  It is always satisfying to be able to report good of regions within Greater Manchester especially as the city centre plummets ever lower these day. There were similarly friendly Transdev drivers in Keigley only spoilt be the sun coming out when not wanted and the schools turning out as I tried to get back over the hills to Burnley.

I have got all the archive section of the Bus Spot Ultra Manchester complete and have about 40 clips to work through at two minutes per visit to complete the marathon two hour programme. When you phone orders through please make sure you give the correct DVD number as that is what we work off not the location etc, as we do not make any profit merely support the PMP archive this all bites in to our frugal assets. As I once told somebody our budget for a day filming is a tank of petrol, and a cup of coffee plus a Bakewell perhaps. I got these today at Costa which I'd sworn never to use again but very helpful and polite staff by the bus station at Oldham redeemed it for a while.

Despite getting shopping, breakfast and petrol at ASDA in Carlisle on our recent visit Mandy a wheelchair user got a parking fine sent to her, it seems disabled people get nothing more than able bodied in parking time, ASDA is now off our visiting list, anyway we found there is a M&S nearby so no loss there. I'm not sure about tomorrow, the weather forcasts change by the minute, it was possible I would visit Newark for the sugar beet traffic but the promised sun has diminished in the latest look aherad, I'll try and judge from the weather maps on tv tonight meanwhile shots from Oldham this morning.
