SUNDAY BUS REPLACEMENT SERVICE

Buses will replace Sunday trains on the Chester-Northwich-Knutsford-Altrincham-Stockport-Manchester Mid-Cheshire line on Sundays 16th and 23rd August. All day engineering work on those two days means that trains will be replaced by buses between Stockport and Chester.
