Manchester 24 hour Public Transport

RE: Manchester 24 hour Public Transport
Thanks for fixing the thread!

A 24 hr metrolink seems the more logical answer. Electric is much cheaper and the only extra cost would be driver’s wages. They run key routes throughout Greater Manchester anyway so in theory it’d work.
Bus operators get fuel at a fixed price for a length of time do they not, providing there’s no substantial change in either company. There’s wages, fuel and more frequent maintenance cost.
Trains again I presume they get a fixed price for diesel for no substantial change. But you’ve got driver’s wages, Network Rail and BTP keeping everybody safe.

Buses could also run where metrolink doesn’t, likes of Leigh/Atherton, Stockport, Hyde and Middleton to name a few places.
