Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Stagecoach Manchester" in English language version.
Manchester's main bus company, the publicly owned GM buses, will be split in two and offered to the private sector. The split will be on geographical lines with the northern half becoming the larger entity, containing over 900 buses with a turnover of £60m. The southern section will run more than 700 buses with a turnover of £50m.
Separately, the Manchester city centre network of free bus services once known as Metroshuttle has been converted to zero-emission with 12 Volvo BZL single-decks. They are operated by Stagecoach Manchester from Queens Road depot.
