"Partnerships" are back on the table, but surely these will only cover certain services.

Passenger Transport suggests that "Andy Burnham, the Labour MP for Leigh and the contender considered to be the frontrunner to become Greater Manchester’s first metro mayor in May, has pledged to push ahead with the introduction of London-style bus franchising if elected." - March 2017
