News > Service updates for the Congleton Beartown Bus Network

Published 27 March 2013

A number of changes for the Congleton Beartown Bus Network have been announced by the service operator, Bakerbus of Biddulph.

The changes come in effect on Monday 15 April 2013 with the re-launch of the Beartown Bus Network which is now a wholly commercial venture by Bakerbus.

Thanking customers for their continued support, managing director, Phil Baker said: "These changes are in the light of experience since we took full responsibility last August. Our aim is to match capacity to demand as best we can." he said.

“We shall be reducing some of the early morning and evening journeys and a few, that were little used, will no longer operate, so customers are asked to check journey times before they leave home.”

“On the positive side Bromley will once again have its own dedicated Beartown bus service, (number 90) and on Saturdays, service 93 will once again serve West Heath. Service 76 will continue to operate independently.”

“Fares within Congleton are the same on all our bus services and the bakerbus 10% discount card also applies.”

There is no change to Service 95 which serves Congleton Retail Park, Tesco ‘s store and Lower Heath, hourly from Monday to Saturday. Service 99 remains part of the network serving Buglawton, Congleton Railway Station and Congleton Road, Mossley.

Direct journeys are being provided between Mossley, Bromley and Congleton High School and between Mossley and Eaton Bank School. Copies of Beartown bus timetables will be distributed door to door to every household along the bus routes a week or so before the changes. Timetables for all Bakerbus services can be obtained from the Coach Travel Centre or by clicking here the links below.
