NEW bus timetables have been revealed.

D&G Bus, which serves the likes of Northwich and Winsford, has made some changes to its services.

The 31 and 37, which were taken over from Arriva last year, will have updated timetables as of February 5.

On the changes being made to the 31, which serves Crewe, Winsford and Northwich as well as Leighton Hospital, the D&G website states: “Some weekday journeys in the morning will run earlier, and some journeys in the afternoon will run later as we have given extra time at key points where we have been experiencing traffic congestion, particularly around Leighton Hospital and Winsford.

“We have also added an additional weekday evening journey between Winsford and Crewe.

 “Bus times during the middle of the day on weekdays, and all day on Saturdays, remain unchanged.

For example, the first bus on weekdays will now set off from Crewe Bus Station at 5.40am, having previously departed at 5.50am.

This bus will arrive at Watling Street in Northwich 6.45am, ten minutes earlier than it used to.

There is also the introduction of a new Winsford to Crewe service departing at 8.36pm.

The 37 service, which covers Sandbach, Middlewich, Winsford and Northwich, is also seeing some changes.

The D&G website reads: “Some weekday journeys in the morning will run earlier, and some journeys in the afternoon will run later as we have given extra time at key points where we have been experiencing traffic congestion, particularly around Sandbach and Winsford.

“Some journeys that currently terminate in Sandbach in the early evening have been extended to Crewe.

“Bus times during the middle of the day on weekdays, and all day on Saturdays (excluding one early evening journey between Winsford and Sandbach), remain unchanged.”

The last bus arriving in Crewe previously arrived at 6pm but as of February 5, it will arrive at 7.13pm.

Meanwhile, those getting the bus from Northwich in the morning will need to catch either the 6.50am or 8am service, rather than the 7.05am and 8.05am services they had been.

More details of the changes, including the full new timetables, can be found on the D&G Bus website.
