This included, new through connections between Weaverham and Rudheath, new through connections from Barnton to Leftwich and Kingsmead, more direct connections from Northwich to Winsford and Crewe and a new local Winsford service connecting the town.

The new Winsford local services 7A and 7C provide 'new links across Winsford', from the Industrial Estate, Railway Station, through the town centre and Glebe Green Drive.

Services will operate a combined 30-minute Monday to Saturday frequency.

The new services cover sections of the revised services 31 and 37 to create a more local service.

Services also replace sections of the withdrawn service 29.

A spokesperson for Arriva said: "We have undertaken a review of services that we currently operate in Northwich and Winsford.

"The result of the review is that the interurban services will become more direct, reliable and better co-ordinated.

"In Winsford many of the areas no longer served by the 29, 31 and 37 will be replaced by a new local service 7A and 7C.

"This service can be used to make connections on other services."
