NETWORK Warrington has revealed its latest discounted route, offering a cheaper service for passengers travelling to and from the interchange via Knutsford Road.
From November 12, The number 2 and 12 buses running into the town centre, and the number 1 and 11 services that run from the town centre back to Westy, are all subject to the new, cheaper ticketing scheme.
The discounted fares – £1.70 for a single and £3 return – which apply to all Network Warrington services along Knutsford Road, include stops like the cenotaph, Victoria Park, Kingsway South and Whitley Avenue.
Ben Wakerley, managing director at Network Warrington, said: “I’m pleased to announce another discounted route for our customers.
“We have listened again to our passengers who have asked for us to review our fares and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to reduce the ticket costs for those travelling along Knutsford Road.
“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.
“We’ve had success introducing lower fares on the ‘Dallam Discount’ and ‘the Pops’, so I’m equally hopeful that the new ‘£1.70 to Westy’ scheme will prove a success for our customers too.”

May be Ben Wakerly could explain why network Warrington can do this, but then justify charging £1.80 to travel a mile in Lymm! People would use the busses more if the charges were fairer 😡
