Planning your Journey by Bus, Train, Ferry and Coach or a mixture of methods

Transport Direct

Please note that the journey planner opens in new browser window.

If you don't know your service number or need to travel using a mixture of different travel modes then you can use the Transport Direct journey planner to plan a door to door journey.

If your journey only involves the train or a National Express coach service then you are better going direct to their own websites, which provide full service details along with fare and booking information:

National Rail the gateway to Britain's National Rail network.
National Express website - details of their UK and European services.

The Transport Direct site is not fully accessible. If you have difficulty using the site you can call the Cheshire Traveline for timetable information for any bus, rail or coach service serving Cheshire and Warrington on 0871 200 22 33 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras) open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm. Cheshire Traveline can now accept calls using the Text Relay system. For more information visit the Text Relay website or call 18001 0871 200 22 33.

Passengers can also use the Cheshire East and West Public Transport Map our Destination, Fare and Stand Finders or our interactive mapping service to plan their journey:
