BUS passengers have been warned ahead of changes to bus ticketing arrangements.

Travellers will no longer be able to use tickets on First Bus, Diamond and Go North West services interchangeably.

Earlier this year a number of services run by First were passed on to other operators and agreement was made that tickets would be taken by all three companies.

This will change from January 1, 2020.

In a statement, a spokesman from Go North West said: "Now that each company’s network of services in North Manchester is clearly established, there is no longer a need for this arrangement. As such, with effect from 1 January 2020, an individual operator’s tickets will only be valid on that operator’s buses.

"For those customers who wish to use more than one operator’s services, there is a full range of great value tickets available through System One which are valid on all bus services in Greater Manchester."
