Timetables
There are regular buses serving Madeley.
D & G route 85a Newcastle to Crewe and back which also travels through Keele University.
http://www.travelinemidlands.co.uk/ select timetables, enter 85a into ‘Service Number:’ and select direction of travel and day of week and of course estimated outset time.
Following all indications that the proposed route would be through the Trent Valley east of Stoke and possibly thanks to Crewes’ lobbying, the HS2 route is to cut through to the west of Madeley. As of yet the plans are only at proposal stages but if given the go ahead, some houses in Bar Hill will be demolished to accommodate a cutting. The track will cross the West Coast Mainline by the old Knotty Railway junction and continue on beyond Manor Road playing fields.
