Go North West
It is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group, operating franchised Bee Network bus services on contract to Transport for Greater Manchester.[1] Go North West commenced operations on 2 June 2019 following the Go-Ahead Group's purchase of First Greater Manchester's Queens Road depot with 163 vehicles.[9] As of 2024, the 41, 52, 53 and 135 are no longer operated by Go North West following the Queen's Road depot being taken over by Stagecoach Manchester as part of Tranche 2 of Bee Network bus franchising.As of March 2024, Go North West operates 79 routes with a fleet of 340 buses, a large amount of which were initially acquired from First Greater Manchester in June 2019, with a large amount also acquired from Diamond Bus North West in September 2023 with the takeover of their Weston Street depot for Bee Network franchised services.[15] On 28 February 2021, a strike was called by the union Unite over concerns that the new payment package was a 'fire and re-hire' scheme, following Go North West making a loss of £1.8 million per year.
