LATE night buses are making a comeback this Christmas.

Additional late night public transport will be put on for party-goers travelling between the town centre's bustling bars and Stockton Heath.

It comes after the success of night buses taking revellers from the town centre to outlying areas of Warrington during last year's festive season.

Deputy Mayor, Clr Celia Jordan, said: "This is welcome news. It went well last year and will again help congestion and ease the fight over taxis, as well as reducing anti-social behaviour."

The buses provided by Warrington Borough Transport are expected to begin at 11.30pm and finish after 2am.

The scheme has been endorsed by Stockton Heath Pub Watch.
