** MAJOR DISRUPTION - PLEASE READ **

Road Closed: B5470 Macclesfield Road, Rainow
Date: from Monday 20th January 2025. 
Service 60

Due to a road collapse between Rainow and Kettleshulme, an emergency timetable is being introduced, with the majority of journeys on the route curtailed to operate between Macclesfield and Rainow only, and between Kettleshulme and Hayfield only.

There are a limited number of through journeys between Macclesfield and Hayfield, which are diverted between Whaley Bridge (Horwich End) and Macclesfield via the Cat & Fiddle and Long Hill, with increased journey times as a result.

All journeys will operate as service 60 - but the Stoneheads Estate in Whaley Bridge will continue to be served on a reduced basis. Please see the timetable for full details.

We will be reviewing the temporary timetable as the closure is expected to be for up to six months. 

The emergency timetable can be found HERE.
