1. Eccles bus traffic/railway metro.
This week an increase of traffic has accumulated around the Walkden and Eccles area. As a new
Metro link is being built from Salford to Manchester. This has in turn delayed motorists and students
from getting everyday places. Talking to the students at Eccles College they have said “This affect our
education as we are missing a lot of time in lesson as it takes over an hour for the bus to come each
day” Is the metro really a good investment? Let us know on our Twitter and Facebook page about
what your thoughts are on the event.
