A NEW bus company is taking charge of services from struggling operator First.

Go North West is a newly created arm of transport giant Go Ahead Group, which began running services in Worsley and Radcliffe, as well as a number of other routes across Greater Manchester, from today.

Timetables and bus routes will not change, although the buses will have a new livery.

Tickets will be accepted on both First and Go North West buses for at least the first year of the new company's tenure.
