The first yellow buses set to be rolled out completely across two boroughs later this year have been spotted on the famous Leigh guided busway route.
The 'Bee Network' is set to be rolled out initially in Wigan and Bolton from September 24 this year with a new fleet of electric yellow buses. This is part of the plans to bring all buses in Greater Manchester will be under public control by January 5, 2025.
While the buses that eagle eyed passengers may have spotted on the Leigh guided busway recently aren't the brand new electric fleet set to be rolled out in September, operators have already started to introduce Bee Network co-branded yellow buses onto the network, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) confirmed. The distinctive purple buses that run from Leigh and Atherton to Manchester Royal Infirmary, run by First Bus, have recently turned into the Bee Network yellow.
