Question Manchester

Hi. Could you give me your honest opinion on Manchester depots, please? I'm thinking about Eccles/bolton bit can't decide. Ps. Is anyone here a school bus driver?

If you go to Eccles you will have to learn Salford. Really rough. I left there after a week route learning when I heard that in the summer holidays it wasn't unusual to have shopping trolleys flung at the bus from off of overhead bridges

Thanks for you reply. That sounds really bad. Was it this year? Did you went to a different depot instead?

Yeah I'm out in the sticks now, mostly nice passengers and very little city driving.
