Owing to the success of our first event at Crewe in 2008, we're please to announce that the South Cheshire running day will now become an annual event. The date has been set for 2009 on Sunday 05th April.

The main event will be located from the Railway Heritage Centre (Railway Age) and Crewe Bus Station. There will be a variety of classic and modern buses operated around the local areas and to several tourist attractions.

Buses will operate from approximately 09:30 onwards, with departures at very regular intervals throughout the day, with last departures approximately 17:30. Due to the popularity of the 2008 event we have additional parking space for visiting bus & coaches, thanks to Crewe & Nantwich Council and Arriva.

There will be displays of vehicles at the Railway Age and also at the adjacent car park in Oak Street and Bus station, also model transport displays and stalls inside the Heritage Centre building.

There will be approximately 8 departures per hour from the Railway Age, with additional journeys operating as required at busy times.  Travel on all services is entirely free of charge. For this day only, admission to the Railway Age is also free of charge to anyone purchasing a Running Day programme/timetable. The programmes will be available on the day for £3.00, which include full timetable of services.
