The service will pick up at Mount Pleasant, Over St Johns, Grange Estate, Winsford High Street and Wharton Road then non-stop to Leftwich (London Road) and onto Northwich Watling Street, a short walk from Barons Quay. The service has been scheduled around cinema times; however each film may have variable screenings.
There will be return buses leaving Northwich at 10.15pm and 11.15pm giving plenty of time to enjoy a film or a meal.

Alison Knight, Director of Place Strategy, Cheshire West and Chester Council said: “Currently there are no services between the two towns in the evening. The new Nightlife Express fills this gap, ensuring leisure and cultural activities are available for everyone. The service provides a direct service to Northwich to access Barons Quay including the Odeon and restaurants. “The journey time between Winsford and Northwich will also be considerably faster than the normal daytime service.”

Julie Linforth, Marketing Director, Arriva North West added: “We’re delighted to be offering this new night time bus route which will enable more people to enjoy trips to the thriving new Barons Quay development. Visitors will be able to travel to and from the destination with ease of regular services, as well as very reasonable fares for couples and families.”
