Transport chief facing chaos

A TRANSPORT co-ordinator told of the chaos that ensued as he helped drive more than 700 residents across Manchester city centre on Monday night.

Matthew Turner, from Hollins Road in Hathershaw, was the organiser of an event at the Victoria Warehouse in Stretford when the blast went off at Manchester Arena.

There were 12 Belle Vue buses and coaches used to transport the 700 individuals on shuttle services from the Warehouse venue to hotels across the city centre.

By 6am the next day all 700 delegates had been returned to their hotels.
