Strange lot up North they use the Bus to get to work

Are manchester buses different from london buses ?

///Critics have already attacked the ‘gold-plated’ relocation packages for staff moving from London. Workers are being offered up to £1,900 a month, for up to two years, for expenses including travel, rent and bills.

Those moving permanently can get a £3,000 allowance for carpets and curtains, as well as their stamp duty paid on a new home.///

Salford quays is great -I'll be there on Saturday to see sir Derek Jacobi. If it's good enough for him its good enough for the BBC

No haha, it was the Ordsall bit :)

I agree Ric.ror, I lived on the Quays for a while and loved it. Ok it's not London up here though nowhere else in the country is, it's a bubble. They have a choice whether or not to move up here. I've worked in both Central London and up in Manchester and chose to locate permanently up here.

I can definitely see problems with guests and such though, it's not anywhere near as convenient for them as London, especially if people are on because they are plugging something recent and are London based, it's not like they can just pop into the studio. Similarly for non-UK guests, London is probably a far better draw. I commuted between the two for a while and can definitely see the issues.

Shame really as it's a great thing for the economy up here.
