Looks like all positive changes for when the Bee Network on 24th September 2023.

When Bee Network bus services launch on 24 September, improvements are planned in Bolton, Wigan and parts of Bury, Salford and Manchester – the first to be brought under local control – that will see them run earlier and later, better integrating them with first and last train and tram services.

I know you posted this a few weeks ago but I don't see the point. If you're going to take the routes over then they should be redesigned to remove the territories. Taking them over and just running the exact same services then what the hell is the point even if they have minor frequency increases.

Several timetables on the TfGM/Bee Network website just advertise Bee Network without mentioning the operator such as Go North West.

If I was going to get anything...

It would be the GNE 638 (with a Go-ahead Gateshead National) on my heart. 
The GNE 71 (with an ex-London Marshall Dart) on my left bum cheek. Need to identify another service that I dislike for the right bum cheek.
