Manchester - take note

In case anyone wishes to visit Manchester in the next two months, watch out.  Roadworks seem to be everywhere.  Its not roadworks making new bus/cycle lanes, its the works that's putting in a new tram route right through the centre.  Best to come in by train, or if you must drive in, come in via Ardwick Green.  If on the M60 come off at either A6 for Manchester or A57 to Manchester, they seem to be the better and quieter routes
