Pre Covid when I commuted from Wigan to Manchester by rail and bus I would buy GM County cards, eventually annual. It was very convenient.

Is there anything similar for single day use? At a glance there doesn’t seem to be, county cards are weekly, monthly, annual it seems. It needs to include peak travel.

Can't really see anything other than a £12-00 Wigan to Manchester (CTLZ) Anytime Day Return rail ticket together with a £5-00 System One Anybus Day ticket.

Their are 1 day tickets available for the whole GM area, unfortunately these only allow travel on trains after 09.30am Monday to Friday, some of the off peak tickets have evening peak restrictions too.

Thanks, that confirms what I’d already seen tbh. I thought I might be missing something. It seems a bit daft that there isn’t a peak version, although it would probably be quite expensive.
