It will be useful for the run up to Christmas as the Trafford Center car parks do get quite full but after Christmas if it is still operating after Christmas the loads will drop down again.

The idea it's self isn't very original. It's already been mentioned that many operators have tried running to/from the Trafford centre and it never really takes off.
As a die hard mancunion myself I always believe The Trafford Centre, as great as it is was designed as an out of town retail experience aimed at car owners, add to that the fact that apart from a few specialised shops the vast majority of retailers in there can be found in most high streets/shopping centres. Yes it's a good day out but to have to travel home on a bus with dozens of shopping bags - it dosen't apeal to me.

I would have thought a Christmas service into Manchester City Centre would do well taking advantage not just of the shopping but the fantastic Christmas markets as well.
