Due to flooding in the Northwich area it is not possible to cross the River Weaver via the A559 or the pedestrian footbridge a short walk from the town centre. It is possible to take a long diversion via the A556 but that's no much use for those without cars.
Arriva are currently terminating the Weaverham to Northwich bus at Greenbank station
While Warrington's Own Buses are diverting the Warrington to Northwich bus to terminate it at Greenbank station
Meaning the Greenbank to Northwich train service is currently a lifeline for those unable to cross the river by bus or on foot. The chance of the railway line on the viaduct flooding is almost none. It's just unfortunate Northern are only running a 2 hourly service.
Northwich station has a Tesco store right next to it, so very convenient for those living the wrong side of the river but needing to access a supermarket.
