Warning to anyone travelling to Creamfields this bank holiday weekend

Thousands are expected to attend the Creamfields festival near Warrington this bank holiday weekend.

However those travelling by train are being advised to plan ahead, with engineering work and reduced timetables in effect across the weekend of the festival.

Creamfields shuttle buses will be running throughout the event between the site in Daresbury and Warrington, Liverpool, and Manchester.

The four-day dance music extravaganza, which is now sold out, gets under way tomorrow (Thursday) and continues until Sunday.

This year's festival, sponsored by Cinch, will feature just under 100 artists. These include the likes of French DJ David Guetta, electronic duo Chase & Status, and American DJ, MK.

Last year's event was cancelled because of the covid pandemic.

Chris Jackson, regional director at train operator Northern, said: "Creamfields is a fantastic festival and we're proud that so many choose to use our trains to get to and from the event.

"This year though, engineering work from Thursday to Sunday means buses are replacing trains between Liverpool and Manchester (via Warrington Central) so journeys will take longer, and capacity is reduced.

"Our services to and from Warrington Bank Quay are also suspended this coming weekend, though other operators' trains will be running.

"It's really important that those planning to use the railway check the temporary timetables before they set off and give themselves extra time for journeys to and from Warrington."
