Arriva North West - Wythenshawe Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Wythenshawe Depot
I noticed a couple of weeks ago someone asked Arriva on Twitter about why the 88 route doesn't serve the Airport and I thought they aren't going to be interested in running it to the Airport as it would need a 5th bus. However, I've since heard Arriva have said running the 18 services to Altrincham is no longer viable to do commercially so will be getting a TfGM subsidy to run them. So could some joined up thinking be applied here with the 88 routed via the Airport and the 18 services no longer running the Altrincham to Airport portion? That would give longer layover times for the 88 service (making it easier to recover delays) and improve the frequency of services between Altrincham and the Airport, even if it's one less service per hour between Altrincham and Hale Barnes.
