Many people within the village will be aware that recently Warrington's Own Buses have redirected the Cat5A bus service to route the service away from Dunham Road, Warburton and Dunham Massey and through Partington to access Altrincham. This is due to unresolved legal issues regarding the buses travelling under the canal underbridge at Dunham Massey. Warburton Parish Council have been in discussions regarding this with Warrington's Own Buses, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Dunham Massey Council, Lymm Parish Council and The National Trust. All parties wish to see this important bus service reinstated to the village and we are continuing our efforts to ensure this.
At a meeting between Warburton Parish Council, Dunham Massey Parish Council, Trafford Council, The National Trust and TfGM on 21st December we were informed that TfGM are trying to get the bus service reinstated with a smaller bus from another supplier and this process will hopefully enable the bus service to return in April 2022. In the meantime TfGM are trying to find a solution to the poor service from the replacement Local Link service.
If you have specific regular journeys you require a bus service for such as children travelling to schools or regular travel for work, please get in touch as we are trying to ensure special provision in the meantime for regular users.
