Even those who currently use the train with an integrated bus/rail

leave near the Altrincham line and rarely use it as it's so bloody
expensive (even compared to Stagecoach!) and not integrated into the
other PT modes.


I understand that part of the Phase 3 contract was to revamp
completely the PTE-sponsored season ticketing scheme to include
Metrolink in some way.

This would probably increase the cost of the tickets, but I suspect,
with that in mind, some kind of Merseyside or London-like zonal scheme
may well have resulted.

Thanks for the info - that's interesting, Neil. I'd imagine it would
increase the County Card costs but as you say it couls be off-set by a
zonal system which, in addition to those you listed, WYPTE also use...
