CHEAPER bus services will be available to passengers travelling between Westy and the town centre.

The new ticketing scheme means that a single trip will cost £1.70 and a return will cost £3 on the number one, two, 11 and 12 buses running in and out of Warrington Interchange from Monday.

Passengers will see cheaper fares on routes via stops including the Cenotaph, Victoria Park, Kingsway South and Whitley Avenue.

Ben Wakerley, managing director at Network Warrington, said: “We have listened again to our passengers who have asked for us to review our fares.

“I’m delighted that we’ve been able to reduce the ticket costs for those travelling along Knutsford Road.”

Mr Wakerley added: “The new ticketing structure comes into effect on a trial basis, but if passengers continue to use these discounted bus routes and support a truly multi-modal Cheshire, we will be able to maintain the cheaper fares.

“I’m hopeful that the new ‘£1.70 to Westy’ scheme will prove a success for our customers.”
