The Bee Network is the new name for the transport system for Greater Manchester and comprises bus, tram, cycling and walking routes.
In this booklet, the fleets of each bus operator forming part of the network are provided. Covers the following operators and their vehicles used around the Great Manchester region:
- Diamond Bus
- First Manchester
- GO-North West
- Metroline
- Stagecoach Manchester
- Vision
The Bee Network's bus services began in December 2022 with the awarding of two large franchises to Go North West and Diamond North West in Bolton and Wigan, as well as parts of Bury and Salford. The franchises have been expanded since to cover the remaining areas of Greater Manchester.
Includes fleet numbers, registration numbers, chassis and bodywork detail for every vehicle, plus garage allocations for operators with multiple garages.
The book is divided into sections, one for each operator presented in alphabetical order. For every operator with multiple garages, a second listing of vehicles in depot allocation order is provided at the end of the operator’s section.
At the back of the book is a complete index listing of all vehicles in registration number order, with fleet numbers and operators shown. Bee Network Bus Handbook 2025 is well illustrated in colour throughout. 32 pages.
