Frequent bus services to Warrington Hospital in Cheshire are helping residents reach their medical appointments and work more easily. Warrington’s Own Buses is operating more trips to ensure people can get to the site on Lovely Lane throughout the week without needing a car.
The 16 and 16A routes from the town centre bus station now run up to every 12 minutes. These services provide a direct and reliable link to the hospital for patients, staff, and visitors, helping to reduce the number of cars on the road and pressure on local parking spaces.
This boost to local travel is supported by Warrington Borough Council using money from the national Bus Service Improvement Programme. The funding helps the bus company transition towards a fleet of fully electric vehicles as part of a wider plan to improve air quality and transport links across the borough.
Residents are also reminded that bus fares changed on 1 January 2026 to help manage the costs of running the network. Single adult tickets now cost £2.50, while the price for passengers under the age of 16 is £1.50, both of which remain below the national price limit for bus travel.
In addition to these regular routes, the Warrington & Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust continues to offer a free shuttle bus for patients and staff. This service runs five days a week to help people travel specifically between the Warrington and Halton hospital sites.
