Travel by bus
to Chester Business Park
Travelling by bus can be cheaper and quicker than commuting by car through peak hour traffic congestion. With fuel prices at near record levels and a number of ticket offers available the bus is becoming a more and more attractive travel option.
As shown on this map the Chester Business Park is well served by a number of services which combine to provide more than 6 buses an hour between the site and Chester city centre. Other key locations served directly from the business park include Wrexham, Broughton and Mold, but if there isn’t a direct route to where you live don’t worry, with the Arriva weekly ticket you can change to as many Arriva connecting services as you need at no extra cost.
