Those joining from Warrington can get the 10:42 from Bank Quay to Crewe, 37 bus from Crewe Arms Hotel at 11:10 then 8 minute walk from Cats Bar arriving around 12:04.

Thanks to Neil for the following transport details

The 37 bus goes to Northwich, Winsford, Sandbach or Crewe. If you take a Northbound 37 bus from Middlewich to Northwich then you can make a Warrington connection (the last CAT9 on a Saturday to Warrington leaves at 18:12) and if you miss that last Northwich to Warrington bus then the best option is Southbound 37 to Sandbach (Crewe-Stockport-Manchester line) and Crewe, so Crewe should have some Avanti trains going up to Bank Quay in the evening, looking at Avanti's timetable search for 1/2/2025 there are hourly trains between 6pm and 9pm between five past and ten past the hour (after the 21:10 there is a bit of a gap to the last one which is at 22:37).

Please let Andy Edwards know you if intend to join us please so he has rough numbers
