This includes the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Greater_Manchester_bus_route_43&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Greater Manchester bus route 43 (page does not exist)">43 service</a>, the only 24-hour bus service in Greater Manchester, which also serves the Oxford Road/Wilmslow Road corridor. </p><p>Go North West is the main operator in the North of Manchester with routes extending to <a href="/wiki/Warrington" title="Warrington">Warrington</a>, <a href="/wiki/Worsley" title="Worsley">Worsley</a> & <a href="/wiki/Bury,_Greater_Manchester" title="Bury, Greater Manchester">Bury</a> It also operates <a href="/wiki/Zero-fare" class="mw-redirect" title="Zero-fare">Free Bus</a> services that link important points in the city centre such as Piccadilly, Victoria and Oxford Road stations with <a href="/wiki/Chinatown,_Manchester" title="Chinatown, Manchester">Chinatown</a>, <a href="/wiki/Deansgate" title="Deansgate">Deansgate</a>, <a href="/wiki/Salford_Central_railway_station" title="Salford Central railway station">Salford Central</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Albert_Square,_Manchester" title="Albert Square, Manchester">Albert Square</a>. These services are very successful and therefore often busy. There are two routes, numbered 1 and 2. They run every 5–10 minutes and complement the Metrolink and National Rail services. Those arriving at <a href="/wiki/Manchester_Piccadilly_bus_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Manchester Piccadilly bus station">Manchester Piccadilly bus station</a> and needing to take a train from Piccadilly, less than half a mile (500 metres) away, can choose either the Metrolink, the free bus, or walk. </p><p>First Greater Manchester previously operated a number of 'overground' services, high frequency colour-coded services connecting Manchester with many large towns around the conurbation including <a href="/wiki/Bolton" title="Bolton">Bolton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bury,_Greater_Manchester" title="Bury, Greater Manchester">Bury</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oldham" title="Oldham">Oldham</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rochdale" title="Rochdale">Rochdale</a>. The colour-coded branding has largely been dropped since the start of the 2010s and the colours are only used to advertise specific routes. First operated the 'Night Bus' on many of the most busy routes but these services, namely the 8 service from <a href="/wiki/Bolton" title="Bolton">Bolton</a>-Manchester, but this has been dropped and the last services on most routes is on or around 12am. At their height, First Greater Manchester operated on high frequency route between <a href="/wiki/Bury,_Greater_Manchester" title="Bury, Greater Manchester">Bury</a>-Manchester, the 135 service, which operates every six to ten minutes is the competing bus route with Metrolink's <a href="/wiki/Bury_Line" title="Bury Line">Bury Line</a>. This service was operated using only <a href="/wiki/Articulated_buses" class="mw-redirect" title="Articulated buses">articulated buses</a>, but this has ceased in recent years and the buses moved on to other services such as the 471 on its route from <a href="/wiki/Bolton" title="Bolton">Bolton</a>-<a href="/wiki/Rochdale" title="Rochdale">Rochdale</a> via Bury, they have since been withdrawn entirely. </p><p>Manchester's principal bus station used mainly for services on the south side of the city is at <a href="/wiki/Manchester_Piccadilly_bus_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Manchester Piccadilly bus station">Piccadilly Gardens</a>, which is served primarily by Stagecoach Manchester and also by Metrolink. <a href="/wiki/Shudehill_Interchange" title="Shudehill Interchange">Shudehill Interchange</a> caters for routes mainly on the north side of the city, which is within walking distance of Victoria and is mainly used by Go North West. <a href="/wiki/Megabus_(Europe)" title="Megabus (Europe)">Megabus</a> use Shudehill for their National Coach services.

The older bus stop flags were based on a nationally adopted design featuring a single-decker bus and were used over the entire country with the exception of London. Following <a href="/wiki/Bus_deregulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Bus deregulation">bus deregulation</a> there was no compulsion to use the national symbol, and several passenger transport executives like <a href="/wiki/West_Yorkshire_Metro" title="West Yorkshire Metro">West Yorkshire Metro</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Rapid_transit" title="Rapid transit">Metro</a> and <a href="/wiki/Merseyside" title="Merseyside">Merseyside</a> adopted a new bus stop flag design featuring their capital M logo. GMPTE inherited their own M-shaped logo and also began to use it on the glass back of bus shelters from the late 1990s. They have subsequently introduced this to a new design for bus stop flags – firstly used in 2002 on high-priority routes – and now being erected across the entire GMPTE area. </p><p>In 2011, with a change of name and remit of the transport authority, these were replaced by a modified "M" design. </p><p>In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, several hundred bus drivers in Manchester working for Go North West <a href="/wiki/2021_Go_North_West_strike" title="2021 Go North West strike">went on strike</a> for two months. </p><p>As of June 2022 the night bus network includes routes 43, 86, 103, 112, 142, 143, 192, 201, 203, 216 and 219.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most depart from the central point of <a href="/wiki/Manchester_Piccadilly_Gardens_bus_station" title="Manchester Piccadilly Gardens bus station">Manchester Piccadilly</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Waterborne">Waterborne</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Transport_in_Manchester&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Waterborne"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg/220px-Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg/330px-Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg/440px-Aerial_photograph_of_Salford_and_Trafford_Park.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>An aerial image of the Manchester Ship Canal converging in Salford and Trafford, just outside Manchester boundaries</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg/220px-Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg/330px-Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg/440px-Little_and_large_on_the_Manchester_Ship_Canal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1499551.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="427" /></a><figcaption>A freight ship and a narrowboat on the <a href="/wiki/Manchester_Ship_Canal" title="Manchester Ship Canal">Ship Canal</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>One legacy of the industrial revolution is an extensive network of <a href="/wiki/Canal" title="Canal">canals</a>: the <a href="/wiki/Manchester,_Bolton_%26_Bury_Canal" class="mw-redirect" title="Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal">Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rochdale_Canal" title="Rochdale Canal">Rochdale Canal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bridgewater_Canal" title="Bridgewater Canal">Bridgewater Canal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ashton_Canal" title="Ashton Canal">Ashton Canal</a>, and the Leigh Branch of the <a href="/wiki/Leeds_%26_Liverpool_Canal" class="mw-redirect" title="Leeds & Liverpool Canal">Leeds & Liverpool Canal</a>.

The deteriorating state of the Irwell Mersey Navigation and the excessive dues charged by the <a href="/wiki/Port_of_Liverpool" title="Port of Liverpool">Port of Liverpool</a> fuelled influential Mancunian businessmen such as <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Adamson" title="Daniel Adamson">Daniel Adamson</a> to find a solution, and consequently the idea of a ship canal was formed. The ship canal never became the success its patrons had wished, and traffic peaked in the 1960s. The canal fell into a state of disrepair, but since the 1990s there has been renewed efforts to use the canal more as a transport route.
