Does the transfer of 705 leave Macclesfield short?

Any information would be appreciated.

705 never made it into service at Macclesfield. Went frm Olympics to WY with only a stop off at Gaw End Lane.

Tender losses have cut PVR so no problem.

Must have only been for a couple of days.
In the documents for the TfGMC meeting on 4 January, it's been mentioned that Arriva will withdraw the Sunday service on the 130, which has been replaced by Cheshire East CC by GHA Coaches from 13 January 2013.

Not quite, Arriva have lost the tender for the Sunday service, which has been won by GHA.
This will potentially be the first time GHA or a subsidiary have reached Greater Manchester.
No, the Vale Travel division already run services 88 (Altrincham - Knutsford) and 200 (Wilmslow - Airport). I would assume Vale will run the 130 given their depot is in Macclesfield.
669 670 and 700 are listed as Wythenshawe vehicles
2934 MX09 EKO VDL SB200CS Wright Pulsar 2 B44F Wythenshawe
2935 MX09 EKP VDL SB200CS Wright Pulsar 2 B44F Wythenshawe
2936 MX09 EKR VDL SB200CS Wright Pulsar 2 B44F Wythenshawe
2937 MX09 EKT VDL SB200CS Wright Pulsar 2 B44F Wythenshawe
2938 MX09 EKU VDL SB200CS Wright Pulsar 2 B44F Wythenshawe

Interesting how Wythenshawe have the 3 Stockport metroshuttle branded solos plus MX12KVS
705 is another example here and there is 3 optare solos not 2 cant think what the 3rd is tho am afraid
