Transport Service Solutions goes live with FlexiLink

Today, Transport Service Solutions began operation of a new flexible transport service, FlexiLink.

FlexiLink is a demand responsive transport solution which provides an alternative means of travel for Cheshire East residents who are disabled, 80 or over, or who live beyond the reach of any other public transport. All journeys must be pre-booked so that routes can be planned efficiently. The service works on a demand responsive basis.

The service will build on the successful 'Little Bus' previously operated by D&G Bus and we have welcomed colleagues from D&G Bus to join TSS as the new service commences.

The service, which has been combined with the current school transport operations of TSS, is operated on behalf of Cheshire East Council, with core hours of operation between 9.30am and 2.30pm weekdays. This allows both services to be delivered more cost effectively and safeguards the future of the flexible transport service. The hours of operation have been agreed with the Council following a strong preference expressed during their public consultation. A limited service is available for group bookings between 8.30am and 9.30am and 2.30pm and 4.30pm.

Call 0300 123 5110 to book a journey (local call charges apply, calls from mobiles may cost more). The booking line is open 9.30am to 12.30pm Monday to Friday.
