Bus Service Information

We have a number of public scheduled services running in to school via the new bus terminus from Blacon, Saughall, Neston, Frodsham and Wrexham.

Service 16 is the main regular service that will bring students into Handbridge and stops at the bottom of Queens Park Road, less than a 3 minute walk from school.

For all the latest bus service timetables which list all the services operating in the area, please visit the Cheshire West and Chester transport website: Bus service timetables | Cheshire West and Chester Council

Alternatively, you can use the Traveline website where individual journeys can be mapped : Plan Your Journey | Traveline

You can also select your preferred mode of transport, find out when your next bus or train will arrive, or download timetables. Telephone Traveline: 0871 200 22 33

On the CWAC website there is a link to download the itravel smart phone app – which is the free journey planning app for CWAC, which has up to date travel information, interactive maps and public transport timetables. There is also a public transport timetable order form – where individuals can order any local bus service timetable to be posted to them. As new services come on line with the bus terminus this will be the most up to date source for services/timetables change between now and September. 

Stagecoach services

Students can buy a 7 day mega rider pass for £20.  This includes Stagecoach services covering the city of Chester, as far out as Saltney (Sandy Lane), Saughall Lane End, Mollington, Moston Garage, Upton Wheatsheaf and Hoole Road/M53, A41 Ring Road/Guilden Sutton Road, Waverton and Farndon. They can also obtain a Stagecoach Chester DayRider ticket, at a cost of £3.20 - £4.20 which is often cheaper than a traditional return. These can be bought onboard from your driver, online or via the Stagecoach Bus App: Weekly Bus Passes | Megarider Cashless Bus Tickets | Stagecoach

We recommend downloading the Stagecoach App which has all you need in one place:

  • Bus tracking on a live map
  • Journey planning 
  • Live bus information 
  • Mobile bus tickets (cashless travel)

There are also Arriva services which operate from Chester to Wrexham (via Pulford), Mold, Broughton, Rhyl, Connahs Quay, Blacon and Saughall.
