New free bus service

WARRINGTON’S bus company Network Warrington is teaming up with Warrington Market and the Borough Council to launch a new free bus link from Academy Way to the bus interchange with effect from next Monday, August 8.
From this date, stop DB, conveniently located at the rear of the market, next to the lift will become the main stop for services to the interchange, with 20 buses per hour during weekday shopping hours, meaning that there will be a bus every couple of minutes.
Customers who have shopped at the market and wish to catch a bus to the bus interchange for onward connections, will be able to travel free of charge from Academy Way to the bus interchange on Network Warrington bus services.
David Squire, managing director of Network Warrington (pictured right) said, “The award winning Warrington market is a vital part of the shopping experience in the town centre, we are pleased to be working with our partners at Warrington Market and Warrington Borough Council to promote the market as a shopping destination and to offer our customers the opportunity to make a free trip to the bus interchange to save them struggling with heavy bags.”
Cllr Linda Dirir, executive board member for highways, transportation and climate change added: “I am very pleased that the council, Warrington market and Network Warrington have been able to work together to help those shopping in the town centre to travel free to the bus interchange. This will enable them to easily access all other bus services across the borough. The introduction of Marketlink is the first of a series of measures which will be introduced to encourage shoppers to visit this area of the town centre and more details of these measures will be announced in the near future.”
