I do wonder how much of LNWR taking over the Crewe-Manchester Airport section is to benefit Bee Network - as Greater Manchester are taking over local services on the Didsbury Line by December 2027. By splitting the Crewe-Airport-Piccadilly service in two, it would be logistically easier for Bee...

Just a shame Crewe goes down to just 3 trains an hour to Manchester Piccadilly - but maybe there are other changes coming. For instance, CrossCountry are operating an additional southbound evening peak service calling at Crewe (in lieu of Stockport) so maybe further changes in the future At...

Is there any news on the new Manchester Airport - Birmingham New Street service? Is it likely to operate 7 days a week? What services would Northern keep (I assume the 0044 Crewe - Manchester Airport - Manchester Piccadilly)? Is there any capacity for Northern to extend its Manchester...

There's been no public document which demonstrates West Midlands Railway (WMR) have applied to the Office for Rail & Road (ORR) or Network Rail regarding track access. Additionally, as WMR plan to launch in December 2026 - it is speculation until something more solid appears. At that point, it...

With Chester and Nantwich removed and Crewe cut years ago, will National Express serve anywhere in Cheshire?

At what point does the 130 become D&G operated on Sundays instead of High Peak if they keep using the Macclesfield depot?

86, 89, 188 and N1 appear to interlink. From looking at the weekday timetable (from 13 April 2026), the below gets created: 188 0800 Mobberley - Knutsford Academy 0825 BREAK 89 0910 Knutsford - Northwich 0935 N1 0940 Northwich - Northwich 0954 89 1000 Northwich - Knutsford 1025 86 1030...

I guess the N1 only stays as it fits nicely and probably costs low when linked to 89. Hopefully more people use buses in the future - especially these sort of routes which help improve utilisation

The new one, 1 morning and 2 evening journeys on weekdays which are empty. Also suggested reducing the dead runs to Northwich on Sundays for 1 of the 2 buses

I have asked D&G about this and suggested extending to/from Crewe, especially as peak times there are longer times between Crewe-Sandbach services which this could help to fill the gaps

I believe the timings for the 31 are to allow connections onto the 37 to/from Northwich. 31 Northwich 0805-0829 Winsford onto 37 Winsford 0839-0917 Sandbach 31 Northwich 0935-0959 Winsford onto 37 Winsford 1009-1047 Sandbach 31 Northwich 1105-1129 Winsford onto 37 Winsford 1139-1217 Sandbach...

D&G changes from 30 March 2026: 12A (Leighton Hospital to Crewe Business Park) - re-routed between Crewe Bus Station and Crewe Business Park to serve Prince Albert Street, Earle Street (opposite Grand Junction Retail Park), Hungerford Road and Crewe Road. Inbound services operate via Crewe...

At its peak both the 31 and 37 were half hourly under Arriva but not full route. The hourly breakdown was (c. 2017): 31 - Crewe to Northwich 31A - Crewe to Winsford 37 - Crewe to Winsford 37A - Sandbach to Northwich Alongside the 38, Crewe - Sandbach (via Haslington) has been half hourly...

23/23A/23C timetable from 30 March 2026: https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/asset-library/public-transport/bus-timetables/cw-23-23a-23c-stagecoach.pdf

D&G have filed for changes to 88 (Knutsford - Altrincham via Wilmslow) from 30 March too: https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/642174/ 1773159125 https://www.dgbus.co.uk/service-updates/

Looks like more changes from the end of March. Nothing on D&G website yet (will post once they are) but 12/12A/13, 19/19A, 31 and 37 are filed for variations from 29 March 2026. To note, the initial 12/12A/13 BSIP funding only ran from 1 October 2025 - 28 March 2026, so it could mean reductions...

0506 (Saturdays) and 0507 (Weekdays) LNWR Crewe - Liverpool Lime Street calling at Liverpool South Parkway only added to the timetable. 0524 (Weekdays) TfW Crewe - Chester added

Cross Country's weekday service: 1725 Manchester Piccadilly - Bournemouth appears to be calling at Crewe at 1756a/1801d. The service will no longer call at Stockport, meaning a non stop service between Manchester Piccadilly and Crewe. At present, this service calls at Stockport and goes through...

I know it won't happen but it would enhance connectivity from Walsall/Cannock if the service became a Manchester Airport - Crewe - Stoke - Stafford - Rugeley - Walsall - Birmingham NS - Birmingham International, connecting the 2 airports and avoiding the vast amount of movements in...
