Unit 43.2 Secondary Research Evaluation

In this blog I will be Evaluating my Secondary Research and explain what went well and what I would do again if I was to do this research again. 
What went well whilst doing my secondary research was being able to find the information on the internet that I wanted I found quiet easily, I was able to gather some really interesting facts such as the final tram was used in Manchester in 1949,  Trams were very popular during the early 1900s because they were cheap and very reliable and that they were very popular amongst the soldiers during the First and Second World War. I was also able to gather interesting information on buses was that they weren't very popular during the early 1900s, Buses only became popular amongst people after Manchester scrapped having trams around in Manchester then the trolley bus was built in Manchester during 1950s and was used up until now and is a very popular use of Transport in Manchester. 

What didn't go so well when I was doing my Secondary Research was that when I was doing my research I wasn't able to gather information on trains in Manchester but when I was making my Podcast Fenton Tenant who I interviewed worked on trains in Manchester building steam locomotives on the trains but I would have like some information to back all the information that Fenton told me in the interview. I was also disappointed that I wasn't able to get some statistics on people who were using public transport during the 1900s-1950s.
