Cheshire Cat – a new local bus service 2 BY DAVID SKENTELBERY ON 19TH JANUARY 2018 7:00 AMNEWS, VILLAGE LIFE A PUBLIC roadshow will be held at Stockton Heath’s Sandy Lane Community Centre on Wednesday, February 28 to highlight widespread improvements to bus services in South Warrington. Bus company Network Warrington is to introduce the Cheshire Cat – a newly branded network that will service the area south of the Ship Canal, starting later this year. The changes will see buses in the south network simplified, improved and will also see the introduction of a new, cutting-edge bus fleet. Cheshire Cat branded buses will include the latest transport essentials, including WiFi, skylights, extra leg room, comfy seats and USB charging points. Network Warrington managing director Ben Wakerley said: “I’m pleased that we’re making big improvements to the south network that will hopefully have our customers purring. These are truly buses to be seen on! “This latest round of improvements follow our Dallam discount, hospital frequency increase, Pops network and ‘£1.70 to Westy’ initiatives, and I can’t wait to unveil this further improvement. “We will be introducing 13 new vehicles onto the Cheshire Cat network to ensure that our fleet remains modern, fit for purpose and achieves improvements for the environment.” Cllr Ian Marks, Lymm North & Thelwall, was pleased about the prospect of network improvements, adding: “I’m looking forward to seeing the positive changes delivered by Network Warrington and the proposed routing, giving better connections.” The improvements will be announced in full at the roadshow which will also give residents the chance to comment on the service changes before they are officially confirmed.
