It's pay and dismay at car parks

WHETHER to bus it, drive in, or get the train is a decision many of us ponder when heading to city centres.

But with the unpredictability of our railways and bus timetables, it can often feel like we have little alternative but to drive.

That's the conclusion I came to when heading into Manchester with my daughter over the festive season.

We were going to watch a show at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, where the Manchester Central NCP is just across the other side of Lower Mosley Street.

Given the nightmare stories I'd been hearing about buses not running to schedule, and the fact we would be heading home quite late, it seemed the safest option.
