It can get good loadings between Lostock Gralam and Northwich, but that's about it as far as I've seen
The 289 is a contract, it was previously operated by Swans Travel who also had the 200 contract. When GHA started running it the route was revised to include High Legh which added 7-8 minutes to the total journey time in each direction and meant the gap between services increased.
It would be more useful for the 289 to go to Warrington after High Legh now the 47 bus route doesn't exist but revising contracted services would require some thinking by the transport people at Cheshire East.

If you saw the 46 get in about 8 o'clock, that figures, as that one runs on school holidays too.

Sorry to bring this up again, however a few folk I know (7) have commented that gha drivers are looking scruffy.
No proper uniform on some drivers which doesn't present well at all. A few have the full gha uniform ie black pants, white shirt red tie/jumper & a grey jacket. But there's drivers working in jeans etc & trainers!
Also it's been noted by myself & probs others that ghas buses ain't that clean. Particularly the deckers but in general the whole fleet needs a good internal deep clean plus any bodywork scuffs marks etc sorting.

In Knutsford I imagine some people think the 88 and 27 routes are operated by completely different companies. The 88 being operated by modern Enviro 200s and uniformed drivers, while the 27 is operated by Cheshire Connect buses and drivers wearing whatever they want, many of the buses still contain notices relating to D&G or Arriva. In some cases an attempt has been made to remove the D&G notice and resulted in part of a notice being visible.
