"A coach operated by S-Line will depart Chester at 23:00 calling at stations to Plumley and then drop off customers at stations as required through to Manchester Piccadilly.

A coach operated by Atlantic Travel will depart Knutsford at 23:40 calling at stations to Manchester Piccadilly."

Given the road conditions - that's going to be fun for some people. Wait over an hour for a replacement coach, with extended journey times and reaching some of the village stations may not even prove possible. Not to mention probably only 50ish seats instead of 250+ and standing space.

People will have fun waiting for these buses to turn up! Atlantic and S-Line are awful cowboy operators.
