700 primary school passengers all safe and sound in Chester zoo. Enjoy your day. X

Due to incident below this is having affects on our 27/27A route into West Bank. Hope everyone involved is ok.

Ashcroft Travel would like to announce that from Monday 25th September 2023 we will be covering the 62 62A route from warrington to Runcorn. Look out for our white buses. Timetable as below.

Ashcroft Travel will be taking over the 62 62A route from Monday 25th September from Runcorn and Warrington. Look out for our white buses.

I welcome today’s news the number 62 bus service - Runcorn to Warrington - has been saved.

Warrington's Own Buses recently announced it was withdrawing services 62 and 62A, with the last day of operation on Friday, September 22.

This would have left the Moore and Sandymoor areas without any direct bus service.

However, Halton Borough Council carried out a tendering exercise with alternative providers.

Ashcroft Travel has won the contract on a timetable that is practically the same, with an hourly service, Monday to Friday (except public holidays), starting on Monday, September 25.

This revival of the service has been made possible due to a subsidy from the Mersey Gateway Sustainable Travel Fund, available for the time being.

It’s hoped the reprieve will allow time for the route to establish itself on a commercial footing but the message to the travelling public is very much, “use it or lose it”.

Well done to all concerned. A big thank you to local Councillor Mike Ryan who championed the cause.

This is a fantastic result for the community!

2 of our coaches had a fantastic time in Paristhis weekend taking our regulars to watch their beloved team. Both groups have sent fantastic feedback to our 4 amazing drivers and although the result didnt go their way it did not hamper their spirits and journey was a breeze there and back. Thanks lads amazing as always. And thanks to the 2 supporter groups you were fantastic. Here's to a succesful next season.

Safe home after a successful trip to Ypres. Thanks Tony you were amazing with fantastic feedback as always.

Please be aware that due to the temporary traffic lights at the top of birchfield road that both the 26 and 26a services may run late due to traffic queues. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but these lights are causing long tail backs especially during peak times. Drivers are trying their utmost to keep disruption to a minimum. Thank you.

All the directors, management and staff of Ashcroft Travel would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy the festivities but stay safe. Thank you all xx🎅🎁🎄🧑‍🎄

Please be aware that due to the short notice of Hall lane cronton being closed this week it will bring disruptions to our 26/26A service and we will be unable to go into Cronton. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience, but this us beyond our control. Please stay safe.
