The train strikes were a right "Buzz"-kill to our day! 

Routing Through: Greater Manchester - Episode 2
After train strikes rather killed the "Buzz" of my second day's plan to discover the Bee Network around Bolton, I made a makeshift backup plan, getting in some corridors where I need to visit a few times anyway, and ticking off our first awkward route already. We get a whole variety of buses for the second episode, and I hope you enjoy the better quality, and lower length of time to it as well. Again, around 20 to 30 minutes is my target for each episode, but I'll do my best to stay under 35 for sure. Despite not getting to explore the new Bees properly, it was nice to at least start on the network on this trip. The Bolton trip that was meant to be today will now be Episode 4.
