message: Dunno if it's worth mentioning, but the GMPTE offices which are currently near Piccadilly Gardens, next to the Thistle Hotel (I forget the street name), well they're moving to the building currently being erected directly outside Manchester Piccadilly's main entrance (not Fairfield Street), they're expected to start moving around October 2006.
:: It's 9 Portland Street, and more likely to be November/December but not into Christmas! ...from a GMPTE worker. Oh also, System 1 are issued by GMPTE.
::: Nope, it's 2 Piccadilly Place and the move was this month. My bf works for GMPTE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TR Wolf (talk • contribs) 17:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Could the article require clarification of Glossop's role within GMPTE? I know too little to add details myself, but, is Glossop, Hadfield et al still not part of GMPTE's remit in the provision of rail services at least? Indeed, it is mentioned as being part of SELNEC but after 1974 it remained within Derbyshire with, I would assume, public transport co-ordination passing to Derby County Council.

message: The line,
Although it will differ in certain structural forms, on the day of its inauguration TfGM will become the second most powerful and influential transport organisation in England after Transport for London because it will unite previously splintered governance over transport policy in the boroughs under one body.
Doesn't quite make sense because it is the GMCA that will unite transport governance, not TfGM.
The plans to create the GMCA mean that it will become the local transport authority (as it will legally be a local authority) which will then delegate those functions to the TfGMC, a joint-board between the GMCA and the boroughs. TfGM will be the GMCA's (via the TfGMC proxy) executive arm. ChiZeroOne (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Indeed that's true.  I'm just not sure how to change the above sentence so it accurately conveys what's happening.  TfGM will have more responsibilities than any other transport body after TfL, but it is the GMCA with the powers/influence and the one "uniting previously splintered governance".

thread_title:  Problem 

message: Why does this need to be it’s own article? TfGM is simply a rebrand of GMPTE, they are the same organisation and legal entity. This isn’t the same story as what has occurred in London or with Transport for West Midlands and West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive? I would suggest that Transport for Greater Manchester should be expanded with GMPTE history - as they are essentially the same entity it doesn’t warrant its own article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammich28 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
