Passengers can find bus stop timetable displays at over 999 bus stops in Cheshire East maintained by Ansa Transport. We try to update displays at bus stops the day before a service change but this can be a few days either side. We put the date at the top of each display to show when it was last updated.

Across Cheshire East 622 stops have raised kerbs installed to make boarding and alighting easier for disabled passengers and passengers with pushchairs.

You can report any errors / queries using the contact us form. It will take 5 minutes to complete.

In certain circumstances bus service registrations may be granted with a shorter notice period than normally required. Bus services must normally be registered with between 42 and 70 days notice with bus operators giving the council up to 28 days notice before they submit a registration to give the council time to assess the changes. GOV.UK has more information about running local bus services and penalties for poor service.

In the UK bus routes are required to be registered under the Transport Act 1985. You can find details of registered routes at:

• VOSA's bus registration search
• Notices and Proceedings of the Traffic Commissioner
