Or alternatively that the driver for another route (which has one driver and bus) phoned in sick and they decided to run a reduced frequency on one route opposed to no service on another route. However, the fact that the regular passengers thought it was probably a failure doesn't suggest they think GHA/Vale's Macclesfield based fleet contains modern and reliable buses for the 27 route.

There can be a range of reasons why a journey doesn't run, some of which are beyond the operator's control.
In my experience, GHA vehicle failures in Cheshire East are relatively rare, but I may be wrong. But without the actual facts it would be pure speculation to be categorical either way.
