Manchester City Bee Network football buses - KXW212 - 16/02/2024 09:05
With these new services (starting on Sat 17 Feb 24) operating under the Bee Network banner, the actual operators don't appear to be shown, except for a few in N&P.
Any further info on who is actually operating the routes would be appreciated.
So far known are :
11 Bullocks
13 First
16 and 17 Tyrers

There is a Manchester Bus Franchising thread that already contains a lot of that detail.

Unfortunately, these aren't mentioned in that thread (I don't think I've missed it). Those that do appear reference the 'normal' routes affected by Tranche 2 from 24 March. These MCFC buses are a new development, and are separate from that Tranche.

Thanks MrBoo. A trawl through revealed all :
The vast majority are run by Stagecoach (1 - 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15), although Bullocks (11), First (13) and Tyrers (16, 17) are involved.
The two 'country ' routes (7 New Mills & 8 Macclesfield) are Swans of Chadderton.

You are right - I have just passed a bus stop on Broadway, and noticed that there is a number 13 in MCFC Blue, which I have not seen previously
