WARRINGTON bus interchange is currently closed due to a burst pipe, causing significant changes for passengers.
The burst pipe caused a water leak. The leak has been stopped, but a detailed assessment will take place tomorrow, Monday, to assess what repair works are needed.
In the meantime, there are significant changes for passengers to be aware of, if they normally begin or end their journeys at the interchange or they change buses there.
What are the temporary changes?
For tomorrow, Monday, passengers should follow the general rule of thumb to get off a stop early, or get on at their first normal outbound stop, wherever possible.
To that end, services will be stopping/starting from the following locations. Help and advice will be on hand from staff who will be based outside the interchange and who will be able to provide guidance for passengers’ onward journeys.
Services inbound
For services entering Warrington, buses will end at:
• Sankey Street, near 9Gallon, for services from the west / south
• Warrington Central Station for services from the north
• Scotland Road, outside the Looking Glass pub, from the east
Services leaving Warrington
For services leaving Warrington, buses will begin from:
• Legh Street for services to the west/ south (this includes services 1,2,5,6,7,8,9, 10,12,13,14,15,16,16A,17-Callands,18,25,28,28A, 31, 31A, 32, 33, 47, 62, 100, 110, X30

• Scotland Road – a temporary bus stop will be established on Scotland Road for outbound services (this includes services 3,4,11)
Passengers who are changing buses will need to walk between the last inbound stop and first outbound stop as advised above.
If any passengers are in doubt, please contact your normal service operator, or speak to a member of staff who will be based at the interchange. Please also allow a little more time for your journeys where possible.
There will be an update again once an assessment of the interchange has been undertaken.
