Warrington’s Own Buses' published fares on the Bus Open Data Service, in force from 16 September 2026. A fare stage is a group of neighbouring stops that are priced the same. Fares change — check with Warrington's Own Buses before you travel.

Christmas & bank holidays

These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Warrington's Own Buses before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, 28 December, 29 December, 30 December and New Year's Eve. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
