Say hello to the all-new Strata – Mellor’s latest showstopper in the small bus world. It’s smarter, more accessible and packed with fresh features to make every journey smoother, greener and comfier. And yes, it’s still built right here in the UK. Mellor Bus Since its debut in 2016, the original Strata has earned its stripes as a reliable workhorse – now it’s back with a vengeance, ready to shake up the sector all over again.

Stagecoach Comes to the Rescue of Chester to Crewe Bus Service

By on
Bus passengers in Cheshire can breathe a sigh of relief today, as Stagecoach has announced that it is taking over the 84 bus service that runs between Chester, Tarvin, Tarporley, Nantwich and Crewe.

The news follows the announcement that Arriva North West intends to close its Winsford and Macclesfield bus depots. Starting from the 24th of April, Stagecoach will provide customers with bus services along the route 84 connecting Chester, Nantwich and Crewe. 

Stagecoach is also offering PCV licence holders an incredible welcome bonus of £1000 for anyone who signs up for employment at their Chester depot.

Matt Davies, Managing Director of Stagecoach Merseyside, Cheshire and South Lancashire, said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming this route into our depot at Chester.

“We currently operate 15 routes in the Chester area network going to Liverpool, Ellesmere Port and now out to Nantwich and Crewe.

“We know it can be unsettling when a bus route could be under threat, so we are pleased to continue the operation of this service Monday to Saturday as an hourly service between Chester and Crewe with some additional weekly journeys between Crewe and Nantwich, we will be reviewing a final timetable soon to ensure that we make this a reliable service for customers.”
For residents of Chester, Tarvin, Tarporley, Nantwich and Crewe, this announcement will no doubt be greeted with relief and joy.

From April, customers can find details of the new timetable along with ticketing options on the Stagecoach website.
