I was in Manchester a few days ago. The traffic congestion was far worse than at a similar time in central London. The best thing that Red Ken ever did was the introduction of the charge. The reason he went for bendy buses was simply EU legislation which aims to phase out the double decker, so we can't blame him for that. Anyway, if Manchester (or Liverpool or Blackburn) rejects the charge then it simply shows how backward looking these places (and their populace) are.
