a lot of people in rossendale and hyndburn go to manchester - for shopping, for work, for hospital visits, to visit family, to go on holiday etc. Yes i know manchester airport aint in the zone - but the train station is!!! I know it was for only the busy times in the morning and at teatime but if you have a hospital appointment or an appointment at the solicitor or anything at 9am - you would have to pay that £5 and who's to say that it would stop at £5? So to pay £5 to go to work and then £5 to come home each day is that fair. To catch a bus from here to manchester its roundabout £6 return - now that money goes to lancashire united - not to manchester council for the improvement of the roads. If they charge the buses - whats not to say that theyre going to pass that onto the customers?
