(Aha. Article 7 solves my problem.)

Greater Manchester still has a passenger transport executive, now called {{WDTK|Transport for Greater Manchester|tfgm}}, but since Greater Manchester's not an integrated transport area, paragraph 28 doesn't apply to TfGM.
Article 7 of {{uksi|2011|908}} states that references to an integrated transport area are to be read as including a reference to the area of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which under the 1968 Act keeps its passenger transport executive, now called {{WDTK|Transport for Greater Manchester|tfgm}}.

FOIA Schedule I includes:

28 - A Passenger Transport Executive for an integrated transport area for the purposes of Part 2 of the Transport Act 1968

Amendments have made the relevant parts of the 1968 Act pretty difficult to read, but it seems clear that the integrated transport areas outside Scotland are the metropolitan counties other than Greater Manchester (excluded by SI 2011/908), and their PTEs are the ones they had before 1985. Metropolitan counties are defined by Schedule 1 of the Local Government Act 1972:

Article 7 of SI 2011/908 states that references to an integrated transport area are to be read as including a reference to the area of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which under the 1968 Act keeps its passenger transport executive, now called Transport for Greater Manchester.
