Due to new contracts being awarded by Cheshire East Council a new timetabled 88 bus services will come into effect on Monday 31 March.
The 88 service between Macclesfield and Knutsford via Hale Barns, Wilmslow, Wilmslow Railway Station, Mobberley, Shaw Heath, Knutsford, Chelford and Macclesfield Hospital will be changing from two-hourly to hourly service.
The current service 88 will be split into service 88 between Altrincham and Knutsford, and service 87 between Knutsford and Macclesfield. Through fares will still be available and no change of bus will be required in Knutsford on through journeys. Buses on service 87 will be increased to run hourly Monday to Friday and will operate into Radbroke Hall grounds.
Councillor Mark Goldsmith, chair of Cheshire East Council's highways and transport committee, said: "The new timetables provide a high degree of stability in our local bus network enabling residents to make travel plans with greater confidence and meaning that the bus is a viable option for many local journeys.
"At a time when the council has significant funding pressures, with the support of the government's funding for our bus service improvement plan, we have increased our commitment to local services."
The new timetables are effective from Monday 31 March.
