I'm intrigued to know why there's the Bee Network stickers on the First and Stagecoach buses?? Greater Manchester has really come up in the world. Brand new 2024 Enviro400EV, Volvo BZL, Wright Streetdeck. Volvo B5L Hybrids, too, and Enviro400 Hybrids. Nice mix, and I really dig the yellow shade.
@ryantaylor841 Stagecoach and First are two separate private companies, so what, they ran those two out of Manchester, and they left them their buses??
The Bee Network is more of a brand or franchise that governs the Greater Manchester Network. Private operators are open to bid for routes and run them as a franchisee under the Bee Network. The Bee Network is regulated by one body who decide the routes and fares etc.

Wonder how long the Magic Bus branding will last! Great video though!

@video47 So essentially, the Bee Network is telling First and Stagecoach....you can still use your buses, but we're the ones who are controlling them?
