Also I do find it a bit strange that it appears the Macclesfield outstation are providing a full service. Could there be some agreement in place already for it to transfer to another operator?

It may be that goodwins had drivers on term time only contracts willing to do extra work given some schools have broken up already. One of the goodwins family was driving on the 281 as well today.

Regards Macc outstation, obviously time has moved on (and the depot closed at some point)but I remember on a previous strike (2017?) services ran because the drivers there were either not unionised, or a different union.
