On the 1890 map this cobbled road in Smedley Vale in the Irk Valley leads to a bridge over the Irk. Will look for remains of it next time, but not carry on this way as to get back on the path behind the view here I had to climb a very steep bank strewn with fly-tipped rubbish . #FootpathFriday #RiverIrk #SmedleyVale #Manchester

🚈🇮🇪 KeolisAmey has been awarded the next generation Luas Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract, valued at €1.3bn, by #Transport Infrastructure #Ireland (TII) and the National Transport Authority (NTA). Starting 1 September 2026, the contract runs for seven years with an extension option. The contract includes a new timetable with extra services during peak times from 2027. Transdev will help transition to KeolisAmey, with most staff expected to transfer under transfer regulations. KeolisAmey operates similar services such as London’s Docklands Light #Railway and #Manchester #Metrolink. This contract supports the continued expansion of Dublin’s Luas network, including the planned extension to Finglas. The contract will improve service capacity and reliability. https://www.tii.ie/en/news/press-releases/next-generation-luas-om-contract-awarded-to-keolis-and-amey-joint-venture/

Today I went for a ride to Ashton Canal Park between the canal of the same name and the River Medlock after it emerges from under the City Stadium on the former site of Bradford Colliery in East Manchester to see if the wild fritillaries there were flowering yet. They were, and I got the bonus of an orange fungus and harvesting wild garlic. Unfortunately, the park is marred by fly-tipping. It would be good if the council put as much effort into litter picking as they put into completely unnecessary grass mowing! #SnakesHeadFritillary #Manchester #Ancoats #RiverMedlock #AshtonCanal #SpringFlowers

The former Hellfire Club and before that Junction Inn or Hotel on the corner of Queen's Road at the entrance to Queen's Park, just before it travels over the River Irk in Collyhurst, North East Manchester. #FensterFreitag #HellfireClub #Collyhurst #Manchester #QueensPark #RiverIrk #IrkValley

Bricked up windows in a building in Monsall, East Manchester. Not sure what it was, but it is visible on the 1890 map. #FensterFreitag #Manchester #Monsall

🚈🐝 #Transport for Greater #Manchester (TfGM) will carry out a major £150m programme this year to enhance the capacity, reliability and resilience of the #tram network across Greater Manchester. Work will include track, tram and workforce upgrades, with some temporary disruption for passengers at locations including Trafford Bar, Deansgate-Castlefield, Monsall, Newton Heath & Moston, Eccles, Derker and Piccadilly Gardens. Preparatory works start over the Easter Weekend, with full closures on the Altrincham, Eccles and Trafford Park lines. A revised timetable will run from 30 March to autumn, supported by extra double trams and a driver recruitment drive, while trams undergo maintenance and deep cleaning to improve reliability and passenger experience. https://news.tfgm.com/press-releases/d0442f65-fec1-4964-b66c-6eb615c647e9/major-programme-to-boost-capacity-reliability-and-resilience-of-tram-network-across-greater-manchester

Subway under the tram lines linking Dalton and Bromley Street in Collyhurst, East Manchester. In lockdown there was a gallery of photos featuring people playing jazz in here. A subway is a kind of footpath! #Footpathfriday #Subway #Collythurst #Manchester

The Irk goes under train and tram lines near Scotland in central Manchester, where a Jacobite army is thought to have massed, thus the name. I have seen kingfishers very near here! #riverirk #manchester

Looking into Manchester city centre from the bridge, which takes Collyhurst Road over the tram, formerly train lines. The tram is passing over the River Irk in the foreground. I have seen dippers in the Irk at Smedley Dip below. #Manchester #RiverIrk #Collyhurst #Wintersky

#GortonAndDenton has fried the tiny minds of the British political establishment. A woman plumber with wild hair and dayglo clothes, standing for an eco-left party led by a gay jew, won massively with thousands of Muslim votes. The politics of division failed. ❤️💚 #ukpol #Manchester

How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little? Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork? After @bevangelist@social.coop told me about @mikelittle@mastodon.online I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known. But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #fosshttps://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/
