The mechanical impossibility of this Metroshuttle illustration of three cogs has been amusing plenty of the city’s commuters.
“The north west’s rich historical contribution to engineering destroyed by a poster :)” laughs The Great Architect while a poster called masakatsu adds that the service’s catchline should perhaps be changed to read: “Manchester Metroshuttle. Where everything grinds to a halt?”

Nothing to do with the cogs but I’d suggest –
“Metroshuttle: It’s easier to walk to where you’re going.”
“Metroshuttle: Tailgate one of our buses through those bollards by the Printworks – you’ll be ok. Honest!”
“Metroshuttle: Making the city work together but we don’t go anywhere near where you want to go.”

That’s my photo! I still have the original on my phone (that’s also my reflection!). When I e-mailed this to some friends pointing out how flawed the design was I didn’t realise it would go so far! Cool!
