By Matthew Hancock-Bruce 26th Aug 2025
Two key bus routes across Macclesfield will soon be merged into one.
D&G Bus has announced a number of 'improvements' designed to boost local connectivity.
It is described as a 'landmark moment' and continues D&G's commitment to upgrading its services and pledges to deliver a sustainable and environmentally-friendly network.
Dan Flanagan, area operations manager for Cheshire, said: "Myself and all of the Cheshire team are excited to deliver the improvements to the network of local bus services to the local communities, offering a reliable alternative to the car.
"The successful collaboration between stakeholders, showcases the positive outcomes that can be achieved when local authorities and bus operators work together to provide valuable local bus services, improve accessibility and reduce the reliance on the car.
"We continue to make D&G Bus the best choice for travel within Cheshire and beyond, and we welcome customers onboard our improved network of local bus services."
Here in Macclesfield, the 3 and 10 services will be merged, starting Monday, September 1.
The new service will run from Weston to Bollington via Macclesfield College, Macclesfield Bus Station, Hulley Road (for AstraZeneca) and Tytherington.
There are also slight changes to times, which D&G say will improve reliability.
The new timetable can be found here.
Elsewhere, new Monday to Friday journeys will be introduced on the 12A running half-hourly between Leighton Hospital, Parkers Road, Underwood Lane, Crewe Bus Station, Crewe Railway Station and Crewe Business Park.
Some journeys on service 12 will be renumbered as service 13 and will operate via Bradfield Road, North Street and Broad Street between Leighton Hospital and Crewe.
