The news follows the announcement that Arriva North West intends to close its Winsford and Macclesfield bus depots. Starting from the 24th of April, Stagecoach will provide customers with bus services along the route 84 connecting Chester, Nantwich and Crewe. 

Stagecoach is also offering PCV licence holders an incredible welcome bonus of £1000 for anyone who signs up for employment at their Chester depot.

Matt Davies, Managing Director of Stagecoach Merseyside, Cheshire and South Lancashire, said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming this route into our depot at Chester.

“We currently operate 15 routes in the Chester area network going to Liverpool, Ellesmere Port and now out to Nantwich and Crewe.

“We know it can be unsettling when a bus route could be under threat, so we are pleased to continue the operation of this service Monday to Saturday as an hourly service between Chester and Crewe with some additional weekly journeys between Crewe and Nantwich, we will be reviewing a final timetable soon to ensure that we make this a reliable service for customers.”
For residents of Chester, Tarvin, Tarporley, Nantwich and Crewe, this announcement will no doubt be greeted with relief and joy.

From April, customers can find details of the new timetable along with ticketing options on the Stagecoach website.

Flanked by dignitaries and the smell of fresh concrete, this newly upgraded depot marks a significant moment in Bristol’s journey towards a cleaner, quieter, less diesel-scented future. First Bus It is not just a few charging points and some optimistic banners. Hengrove depot has undergone a full scale £44 million revamp, turning it into one of the most advanced electric bus hubs outside the M25. This includes five massive charging gantries stretching across a site roughly the size of four football pitches. These are not the sort of gantries you string Christmas lights from. These deliver serious voltage. Who Paid for What and Why It Matters Most of the cash came from First Bus, who stumped up £37.4 million.
