Jingle into January with free travel on Chester’s Park & Ride

Cheshire West and Chester Council is banishing the winter blues for visitors to Chester by offering free travel on the city’s Park & Ride service throughout January 2025.

The offer has been made possible by funding from the Department of Transport under its Bus Service Improvement Plan grant.

The offer applies to single day tickets purchased on bus from any one of the operational sites at Boughton Heath, Upton or Wrexham Road.

The Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Strategic Councillor Karen Shore said:

“When coming into Chester in the new year, please give the Park & Ride a try.

“We know Christmas can be a very happy time for most but can also lead to financial pressures in the new year.  Free travel on the Park & Ride can lighten the load for our residents and visitors supporting our Bus Service Improvement Plan, Fairer Future Strategy, Climate Emergency declaration and our emerging Local Transport Plan.”

Travelling on the Park & Ride is so easy and now free.  Just drive and park at one of the sites, there are plenty of spaces available, hop on board a bus and take your free ticket from the driver.  Then relax on your way into the City.  Buses run at regular intervals until 7pm (5.30pm Sundays).

The stylish and comfortable Park & Ride buses have USB charging, free wifi and premium seating.

The offer does not apply to group or carnet tickets.
