Hi everyone / followers, just a little bit of an update. I will not be posting my bus photos on this account as often anymore, but don’t worry, I will be posting them on this account now tagged below: @ONTHEMANCBUSES Don’t worry, I will still post on this account, but only when I can. Everything bus and transport related will be on the new account, and there will be a lot more content happening and coming soon 😊

We’re celebrating 12 months since the historic launch of the #BeeNetwork and Greater Manchester bringing buses under local control following 40 years of deregulation. 🚌 Over the next few days we’ll be highlighting some of what’s been achieved so far…
