The X57 is an obvious attempt to rival South TPE trains, they even offer discounts to railcard holders. One issue with targeting the student market is international tourists can arrive at the start of term with a lot of luggage so they aren't passengers you'd want travelling on an ordinary bus. It's different if you have vehicles with a special airport layout like the Dublin airport buses which are deckers with half of the lower deck being luggage racks, rather than seating. However, Hulleys seem to use any saloon they have on the X57.

For international tourists arriving in the UK wanting Manchester city centre, they'll normally choose an option - bus, train or tram and then just get the first service. A constraint they have is they use stand A at the airport bus station, with A, B and C usually being used for coaches and notices at those stands advising passengers to check the relevant operator's website for departure times and tracking information. A further constraint is they'd need to ensure the destination display clearly states it goes via the city centre to get to Sheffield, rather than the message on the display focusing on the snake branding.
