In Greater Manchester there is a lack of suitable bus parks especially at major terminuses like the city centre meaning vehicles having to find not suitable places to park or hogging a valuable stand. Would TFGM look at constructing some bus parks for vehicles out of service as London has?

Slightly off topic but Liverpool has resolved the problem of on-street parking and the issue of bus stands by banning buses in large areas of the city centre and making passengers walk a considerable distance to the main shopping areas and tourist attractions, including the Pier Head. A bus park that can accommodate about a dozen buses at a time has been constructed on the edge of the city centre.

Motorists, of course, can still drive and park anywhere they choose.
