    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    I watched a 378 go in and out of Lacy Green, (I was sat in a friends house watching it as I supped coffee) at midday today, it had 10 -12 pax each way and seems to be a popular service. Stagecoach seem to have deliberately chosen to "lose this route" by using double deckers on it. Of course...

    we may get a section 106 grant to keep it going when all the new building work kicks off around Wilmslow, though I cannot see that a so many chances have been missed in the pass

    The 88 and 37 are CEC, but not here but it could be interesting watching a Ferrari with its low bodywork skating over longitudinal ramp. It must add a few minutes to the journey times

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    What is going on there!?, a massive speed ramp has appeared in the town centre, buses are being diverted all over the place, namely 37,88 and other locals. More to the point "where is the cash coming from":roll:

    that is oh so true, buses in Wilmslow and elsewhere are becoming an endangered species

    can we expect the 130 to do Lacey Green? I doubt it, unless AZ is deleted from the route.

    in the great wikipedia it clearly states FOR Wilmslow_railway_station Future high speed services[edit] The economic case for HS2 Phase 1 includes 1 train per hour each way stopping at Wilmslow travelling between London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly.[3] HS2 goes nowhere near here, it goes...

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    For the residents of Lacey Green the ENCTS bus pass is a bit of an insult, what is the point od having these if there are no friggin buses. BUT, if the local residents had opted to go to Greater Manchester in the early 70s they would still have a lot of the benefits they are now winging about...

    I fear for the future as after SEMMS (MAELR?) or is it the (A555) is open the whole area will be gridlocked by A6 to M56 traffic from Hazel Grove to the airport,

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    To clarify matters the 378, only, serves Lacey green, and Spath Lane; the 378 and 130 both serve Colshaw fm; the 130, only, serves Handforth. Tha 200 is for Plane Spotters, Styal womens prison (The Clink) and National trust visitors. The 88 is unaffected. as is the hourly Pendolino; Manchester...

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    Somerfields has become a local name now, the locals call it that even though it is long gone, it is actually Colshaw Farm, I promise to use that name in future, i actually have a photo of a Spitfire XIV on the very same site taken in 1956, 5377M/EP120 but that is far too much off topic

    On the airport tram link you can count passengers on you fingers. loads of fresh air on boggies.

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    the walk from lacey green is a challenge, steep narrow footpaths and poorly lit roads are the norm, it is Cheshire. I suspect CEC regard Spath Lane and Colshaw Farm as not being really "CHESHIRE", and note, here, bus passes are not valid on Northern Rail, In SK9 the ENCTS bus pass is history...

    The residents there and Lacey Green will be devastated, OAPs children, disabled shoppers and so on. Access to any shops, Chemists, banks, doctors, anything, will be denied. I drive through and always see people at the bus stops. It is noticeable that the 130 goes through mainly Tory voting...
