It used to cost 12p to ride from Piccadilly bus station to my house back then. Unless you had a clipper card. You would tell the driver what stop you were going to get off at and he would tell you how much it was to get there. I saw a Bee-Line bus in this vid too. I remember they were cheaper, but I don't recall how much they were. I was 10/11 in 1988 so I wasn't catching busses on my own.
Oh Yeah! This is Manchester town centre in 1980's. Wow look at the old buses and cars. Everything looks different in this video and then everything excatly the same as right now.
in Leigh when I was at school me my friend would have bet on which bus would get to the school gates first between GM Buses & Ribble, most people in Leigh & Atherton regarded Ribble as sheds on wheels or sheddy Ribble
Hi Dave, I'm making a documentary about what happened to the parts of the Hacienda when they sold it off at auction. All of my profits are going to Kidneys for Life & Cancer Research. Do you think I'd be able to use some of your footage from this video if I credit you? Many thanks Chris. www.doyouownthedancefloor.co.uk

Manchester had a huge fleet of Atlanteans which lasted until they were cleared out at Bolton, we even had a running day as a send off
Then they demolished that huge depot , where the new Wickes etc is now
I love 80's

are these buses atlanteans or fleetlines ? i am a buses enthusiast and i was just curious
A time when Manchester was not all about money and sports bars, did not look brilliant by boy did it have character.
