From September 2023 buses in Manchester begin to come under public control in a process that will be complete by 2025. However, one of the first routes that will be affected is the Guided Busway from Leigh to Manchester and the purple livery of the Vantage buses is being replaced by this overall yellow 'Bee Network' scheme (See 75924). Two days before the changeover a bus from Leigh rolls into the Tyldesley Park and Ride stop. Guided Busway services to Atherton, halted during the pandemic, will also resume in due course.
