Gorse Covert Road, Gorse Covert
The main distributor road in the estate, seen from just south west of the junction with Stainmore Close (right).
Bus on Gorse Covert Road, Gorse Covert
Buses serving Gorse Covert traverse the entire length of Gorse Covert Road in order to turn round, taking any necessary layover time here, just after passing the shops for the first time. This Volvo B7RLE/Wrightbus Eclipse Urban 2, of Network Warrington, is doing just that before operating a journey on the 25 to Warrington town centre.
Admirals Road, Oakwood
The main distributor road through Oakwood, seen close to its eastern extremity.

For the moment, buses cannot serve the bus stop outside the station due to the construction of the new footbridge (right); they are using temporary stops on Dewhurst Road a short distance away.
