SUNDAY BUS REPLACEMENT SERVICE

Buses will replace Sunday trains on the Chester-Northwich-Knutsford-Altrincham-Stockport-Manchester Mid-Cheshire line on Sundays 16th and 23rd August. All day engineering work on those two days means that trains will be replaced by buses between Stockport and Chester.

Buses calling at all stations via Altrincham, Knutsford and Northwich will leave Stockport at 08.20, 09.40 and every two hours until 21.40. Buses will leave Chester at 07.36, 09.46 and every two hours until 19.46 and then at 21.08. Trains will operate between Manchester Piccadilly and Stockport.
