It would be a spectacular own goal to get rid of the 130 because of potentially 4 or 5 return journeys a day on a service that isn't all stops, disadvantaging intermediate passengers between Macc and Wilmslow, not mention the Wilmslow - Handforth section which has picked up patronage wise recently. Handforth - Wythenshawe could be sacrificed though, as it's very lightly loaded, so a one bus saving could be achieved there. That always was a daft idea. That extra bus should have been used to reinstate the Handforth - Cheadle link and push it on to East Didsbury, still maintaining a facility to Wythenshawe changing onto the 368 at Heald Green. A victim of this could well be the 109, by just extending the 108 to Leek, Sainsburys it could go. We'll see when the TT appears.

I was thinking that too regards the 109. If the 108 has enough slack to be extended to rudyard as a one bus operation, the 109 could be dropped if the x1 calls all stops lyme green to leek.
