Two of the rail franchises serving the borough of Cheshire West and Chester are due to be renewed, and consultation exercises offer an important opportunity for businesses and passengers to comment on priorities and improvements for the new franchise.
The two franchises are for the current London Midland services for Winsford, Hartford and Acton Bridge, and the current Arriva Trains Wales services operating between: the north Wales coast Chester, Warrington and Manchester; Chester – Crewe , Chester – Birmingham / Cardiff and Wrexham – Neston – Bidston.
Consultation responses can be submitted directly. Alternatively, if you would like to provide comments for Cheshire West and Chester Council to consider including within its response, please e mail those to business@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk no later than by Monday 22 February 2016. It is important to provide any supporting information, if possible to strengthen your comments.
