Please see below a message from Warrington’s Own Buses:
As from Monday morning (8th September 2025), we will be rerouting service 40 to cover service 41 from Chester Road/Ackers Road – it will still run as normal as far as this point from Stretton. This means it will now run via the A56 (Chester Road and Stockport Road) instead of via Ackers Lane, Knutsford Road, Bradshaw Lane, Thelwall New Road and Bell Lane.
Passengers who currently catch service 40 on Ackers Road can catch the approx. 0731 service 5 which calls into school at 0756. Passengers between Pilling Gardens and school have the option of services 5, 39, 40B and 42A.
