    31, 37 and 38 will all be announced together. The 38 amendments reflect some of the 37 changes which is why it can't be loaded yet... there's exciting news ahead :)

    I hope the 3 goes back to a 20 minute frequency to Crewe but doesn't seem imminent which is a shame as its a corridor which can't handle deckers so needs higher frequency on lower capacity buses

    Stagecoach Merseyside Cheshire and South Lancashire

    Wilmslow lost its northbound links many years ago. Hopefully with TfGM Tranche 3 now awarded, Cheshire East Council can work with TfGM to extend the 42B and 42C to Wilmslow as they terminate at Woodford and Handforth Dean respectively so could use Wilmslow to have a major town at the end of the...

    https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates/serviceupdatesarticle?SituationId=ID-23/04/2024-09:41:37:663 It'll be interesting if the new bus station improves the perception of bus travel in Crewe and South Cheshire - Cheshire East has one of the lowest bus usage in the UK and Crewe Bus...

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    With the new Crewe Bus Station due to open on 7th May - could National Express return for the first time since COVID? It previously served Crewe daily between Chester and Norwich I believe, with the calling point between Nantwich and Hanley. Nantwich and Hanley are now on route 551 so diverting...

    D&G have done some improvements on weekdays - earlier start on 12, later services on 31 and 37, faster services to Nantwich and have invested in new buses in Crewe. Only a few times has it been standing only from my experience but I don't travel during the peak. Having D&G as the largest...

    Looks like the first southbound is 36 will come empty from Crewe... which to me seems very wasteful 1713812652 https://www.firstbus.co.uk/potteries/news-and-service-updates/updates/service-changes-28th-april

    TFW 2024 Timetable consultation.

    They have never mentioned any sort of improvement on the Shrewsbury - Manchester corridor since Welsh Government took over the franchise. Yet, they previously mentioned the Welsh Marches line was the only profitable line they operate: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-66244272 So my...

    TFW 2024 Timetable consultation.

    Its a shame TfW are not looking to significantly improve their English services. If they operated an hourly Crewe-Shrewsbury stopper (increasing from every 2 hours as of today) as well as the hourly Manchester-South Wales service, it would help to relieve overcrowding on the long distance...

    June 2024 Timetable Change

    West Midlands Railway's priorities are a little confusing to me The Liverpool - Birmingham service remains hourly most of the time on weekdays with only extras in the peak Crewe - Stoke - Stafford remains as this service instead of via Tame Bridge, with that path being used by the new...
