16 classic pictures of Manchester's retro buses and trams - decades before Andy Burnham's Bee Network

Andy Burnham’s Bee Network has been one of his key policies during his time as Mayor and shows no sign of slowing down. There’s plans to fully bring buses under public ownership in January with proposals also in place for the expansion of the Metrolink network.

While looking to the future it’s always fun to reflect on the past - so we’ve delved into the archives for these great scenes from decades ago. We’ve got buses and trams from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s among other nostalgic scenes. Take a look and see what memories come flooding back.
