378 Grove Lane - Wilmslow Buses Withdrawal

[turdo170]

Reported in the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Bus Network Meeting that the commercial Stagecoach Manchester 378 bus which serves Bramhall, will no longer operate between Grove Lane and Wilmslow from April 23rd. No replacement service is being offered by Cheshire East Council.

Following pressure Cheshire East Council are assessing the changes for potential intervention although the public transport budget is already stretched following GHA Coaches collapse and the 1.5 million of cuts to come next year.

D&G Buses will be operating a 378 service between Wilmslow - Handforth - Handforth Dean but this will not serve Grove Lane or Stanley Road for the time being.

There is a free bus that connects Handforth Dean with Grove Lane, but I have no idea about the frequency.

Not a lot of use then!

The remaining Cheshire East 378 Wilmslow - Handforth Dean is already scheduled for withdrawal in July due to low passenger numbers
