Cheshire East Flexible Transport Service

From 5 August 2019, Transport Service Solutions (TSS) will take over the running of Cheshire East Council’s flexible transport operation, currently known as Little Bus. The new service will be called FlexiLink and will continue to operate across the borough and will ensure support for residents who are disabled, over the age of 80, or who live beyond the reach of any other public transport.

The core hours of the new flexible transport service will be between 9:30am and 2:30pm on weekdays, a strong preference expressed during recent public consultations. This change will allow the service to be combined with the current school transport operations of TSS, allowing both services to be delivered more cost effectively and safeguarding the future of the flexible transport service.

The current Little Bus service will continue to be run by D&G Bus until Friday 2 August.
