The proposed Macclesfield to Knutsford times don't take in to consideration hospital visiting times and presumes everyone finishes work before 5.30 or their place of work is right next to a bus stop. Also interesting they think a 35 seater bus is required for an hourly Altrincham-Wilmslow-Knutsford when some services have most seats occupied using 35 seaters currently.

It's also going to annoy a lot of operators e.g. D&G have just opened a depot in Wincham based on the fact they have a 5 year contract for the 88 which has a PVR of 5, while Howards acquired 2 new and 1 fairly new vehicle to use on the 27, 200 and 289 routes.

11, 32, 47, 56, 75, 77, 79, 83, 89, 99, 315, 319, SB routes would also go. 378 and P1 would be merged in to one route terminating at Hazel Grove. The limited Cheshire part of the 35 would also lose support - I'm not sure what impact that would have as a whole.

19 service would be retained but with some journeys withdrawn.
