Advantages: It's easy, and if you get the right thing, it's free! Disadvantages: Maybe a little confusing...
...less of a risk of getting run over. It's so busy round here, but everything is pretty much within walkign distance. You have the Arndale center with it's bustling Market Street just outside, then across the road there's the big Marks and Spencers, and then the posh street with Harvey Nichols on. St Anne's Square as well, where we have lots of street acts during the summer as well as lots of other shops: Waterstones, Past Times, all within walking ... ...novel and quick way of getting into Manchester for me. Currently this system operates from Bury in North Manchester to Altringham in the South, as well as Eccles which is slightly to the side (I forget which way).
