Well they obviously are in Stockport!! Looks like it'll be the ''Great Escape'' again for those without a car. However, the airport will be operating .

I was stood outside the All Saints Campus on Oxford Road tonight, where all the Piccadilly bound buses stop, and also the 50. For the last few weeks, every time I have been there, there has been a woman stood at the bus stop with a load of bags sat on the bench in the shelter. Every time a bus stops there she runs up to the bus and starts preaching some sort of message, presumably aimed at everyone on the bus. I haven't been able to work out the message yet, but she must be driving the drivers crazy. Has anyone else seen her?
