No offence to Bee Network but it is boring without any proper colour variation, thankfully First and TransDev turn up to provide better variety of colour.
At the trafford centre, i saw 4 buses, 1 go north west and 3 stagecoach. GNW one was in the Go North East corporate livery, whilst the stagecoach ones were in Beachball, Hybrid and GNW corp all (excluding the hybrid) with bee network branding
