Passengers travelling between Macclesfield, Alderley Park, Wilmslow and Manchester Airport can now benefit from more frequent and better connected bus services, the council has said.
Cheshire East recently made improvements to the 130 service, which now provides better access to Macclesfield and Wilmslow railway stations. The new 150 Monday to Friday service offers faster connections between both towns.
Funding came from the Government’s bus service improvement plan.
Coun Mark Goldsmith, chair of Cheshire East Council’s Highways and Transport Committee, said: “These enhancements really open up transport connections to the northern part of our borough. We expect to see a big take up for both of these services, especially with the vastly improved connections to Alderley Park.
“These improvements mean better access to employment, healthcare, education and transport hubs. The new connections to Macclesfield and Wilmslow railway stations in particular will bring a huge benefit to residents, commuters and businesses alike. Additionally, we are always looking to improve connections to the airport, which these positive changes will also provide.
“This demonstrates how our bus network continues to grow, with more buses, carrying more passengers, who give high satisfaction ratings for their journey. So, if you haven’t used a bus lately, then give it a go.”
