It would be strange for a contracted service to require 57 seats on every journey. Maybe the 57 relates to journeys which will carry school pupils, who won't pay full fare but will need a considerable number of seats.

I think a decker running a 44 from Altrincham to Manchester will be a bit like the old 378 running from Wilmslow. For much of the day you'll be able to count the number of passengers on it leaving Altrincham on your fingers.
