‘I hate it’: Manchester commuters back ban out-loud music on public transport

Lib Dem move to ban practice is broadly welcomed, though some feel the party should focus on more important things

Dread" might not be the first word Mancunians reach for to describe their daily commute, but for Ross Kenyon, 45, reluctantly waiting at a tram stop on a cloudy morning in central Manchester, it's the feeling clawing at his body.

Why? He hates the tram. So much so, he refuses to take it to work, preferring a half-hour walk to his office instead. He says the the buses are even worse. He avoids them completely.
