As of today, I am moving my Bus Chronicles series of posts to its own blog.
It has long been an ambition of mine to start my own bus blog in which I chronicle the frustrations and joys of travelling around Greater Manchester by bus, not to mention the surreal incidents I encounter along the way.
I always thought that I'd missed the boat on this. Surely the best time to have started one was back in the mid 2000's when I was navigating the 192 bus wars (again...) and commuting to all sorts of different bits of Stockport as a library temp. There was plenty of material then: The bus wars themselves, singing glue sniffers on the 11, karaoke on a Saturday morning on the 375, the short lived surreal joy of the 62A bus... I really thought I'd missed my moment.
Then the Bee Network happened and I realised that this was the perfect opportunity to start one.
I'm not removing all of my bus related content from this blog: Writing about buses in a journalistic capacity is something I hope to return to at some point. But it is right that the Bus Chronicles have their own blog now because what began as an amusing side project earlier this year is taking over this blog and has, at times, taken over my life a bit as well.
I will be posting non-bus stuff on this blog again as well, and I'm hoping to have some good news about the punk women book at some point (we will see...) so do watch this space.
If you want to read more bus blogging stuff and find out the latest about the 385, you can do so here.
