Our CEO, Christian Schreyer, was in Manchester today to help with preparations for our new Bee Network bus services in Bolton and Wigan. Christian joined the Bee Ready tour, meeting new colleagues as our @gnwbus network gets ready to operate an additional 320 buses, running 50 routes from September 24th. We'll be the first bus service underway under a new franchised public transport system overseen by @OfficialTfGM.

We can confirm that the potential industrial action planned for tomorrow that may have affected our routes operating from Chester-le-Street depot has now been called off, following the acceptance of our revised colleague offer. All services will now continue to operate as normal.
