Out of idle curiosity I tried to get onto Metrolink's site to see how easy my wife would be able to get to Salford Quays tonight.

It redirected me to a "404" page for GMG (Guardian Media Group) Regional Media. Thinking it may be a fault with my browser I tried again using a different browser. Also failed.

So, I tried to get onto gmpte.com, and IT also redirected to a GMG 404 page.

If it transpires that the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority's websites are being hosted on Manchester's dominant commercial media agency's servers (gratis or otherwise) then I'll become a little more than concerned about impartiality on the part of both GMPTE in reporting its news and GMG in how it presents it.
