Services 5/35 are currently funded by TfGM, Warrington Council and Cheshire East Council. Following the withdrawal of funding by Cheshire East, TfGM and Warrington have agreed a revised network in order to maintain a 30 minute daytime service between Warrington and Altrincham.

Service 35 which is currently funded by Cheshire East Council will be withdrawn and replaced by service 5A.

Service 5A will run via the existing service 5 route between Warrington and Lymm then direct to Partington then via Broadheath to Altrincham. This provides a number of new regular links from Partington to Broadheath ASDA, Lymm and Warrington. The introduction of service 5A maintains a 30 minute service between Altrincham and Broadheath with service 281, replacing service 280. As part of this network revision, Network Warrington are providing brand new buses on this service.

Route 5a from Altrincham to Partington could be a respectable length of journey without the need to go all the way to Warrington. I shall combine a CAT ride with D&G route 88 in Altrincham later this year.
