The last two would still be linked to Northwich via the 289 service and there is an extremely limited service on Warrington's 46 between Antrobus and Warrington, and between Antrobus and Northwich.

Surely something will have to be done about the school/college services at least.
If I was around, I might try to let these communities know myself via the community noticeboards they have in most or all of these places, but hopefully residents will find out what's going on somehow?

I think the 289 contract is up for renewal this year but it really serves too many places already for a route ran by a single bus. When it was Swans Travel it was every 2 hours 30 but someone had the idea of routing it via High Legh which means it now runs every 2 hours 45.

Getting a news story about the withdrawal in the Northwich Guardian might be the best way of letting local people know, depending what Network Warrington do in response.
