New bus service to Leighton

A school bus service is being extended to help local people travel between Nantwich and Leighton Hospital.

The new number 68 service was previously a school-only service but has now been made available to all passengers as a public transport route.

This service, which runs from Leighton Hospital to Nantwich Bus Station via Walley's Green and Church Minshull, has been introduced as part of the regular tendering process which allowed for a number of improvements at no additional cost to the Council.

It was originally a service for Malbank High School and Worleston School pupils only.

The Council's transport team has sought to integrate services to maximise the use of resources by opening up one contract to serve both school and public transport needs. The service also provides a limited daytime timetable on Thursdays and Saturdays.
