We have received some questions about our local bus service into the city and have been given the following advice by the Council:
- The 61/62 bus service is operating to its normal timetable.
- All passengers have to wear a face covering – from Monday 15th June it will be a condition of travel. People failing to do so may be refused travel.
- Carrying capacity has been reduced on buses to about 20% of normal. Buses on this service are 29 seaters, so the maximum carrying capacity observing social distancing measures will be about 6. If the bus is full to its new capacity, then it will not stop.
- Frodsham Street will be closed for a temporary period from 15th June to allow for social distancing. Therefore passengers returning from Chester on this service will need to board at Chester Bus Interchange stand B or at the bus stop at the top of Lower Bridge Street.
