Just remember the extra fuel you will use to get to LPL in your car
Don't forget the large ribbon of population that can get to LPL easier than MAN, e.g. Lancashire, N Wales, Warrington, Skem etc. etc.
MAN has had a monopoly on the region for years. Now the free market has allowed others to reach critical mass (LPL etc) who are providing an interesting alternative, better in some respects and worse in others, but alternatives nonetheless. MAN's figures are therefore slowing and plateauing, but the usual MAN-supporters-but-competition-deniers can't accept that new Reality. "Reality" I say. MAN must accept the Reality and adjust their performance and attitude to compete in the new Reality. That means customer service, usability, price, access, car parking, working infrastructure, delay management etc.
