I've seen F15 HOW on the 289 before so it's not the largest bus Howards have used on that service. I think they used V24 HOW on the 289 the first day they ran it.

The 289 should get its own, new, dedicated branded vehicle in October

Then whoever wins the contract will take it over.

Cheshire East really need to sort their timetables out. Today a woman was waiting for the 09:45 Knutsford to Macclesfield - apart from it's a 09:15 Knutsford to Macclesfield now despite what the bus stop timetable shows and had left on time. By going off what the bus stop timetable shows it could give the impression the 9:45 didn't show up and the 10:45 ran half an hour late.

I also notice Cheshire East have put on their website the 289 timetable changes on 4th September but not said what the changes are!

RE: Howards/Springfield
Still no new 289 timetable on either the Cheshire East or Howard's site but new times have appeared on Traveline today

07:00 Northwich to Knutsford (arrive 07:36)
08:50 Knutsford to Northwich (arrive 09:26)
09:30 Northwich to Altrincham (arrive 10:45)
10:53 Altrincham to Northwich (arrive 12:08)
12:10 Northwich to Altrincham (arrive 13:25)
13:33 Altrincham to Northwich (arrive 14:48)
14:50 Northwich to Knutsford (arrive 15:26)
16:11 Knutsford to Altrincham (arrive 16:50)
16:53 Altrincham to Northwich (arrive 18:08)
18:10 Northwich to Knutsford (arrive 18:46)

So one Northwich bound journey withdrawn altogether and quite a few no longer running between Knutsford and Altrincham, with an afternoon journey split at Knutsford with a 45 minute break inserted.

18:10 Northwich to Knutsford (arrive 18:46)

Thought for a moment that the last one was a mistake and it must be going Knutsford to Northwich, but it's sound according to Traveline, meaning a different vehicle and driver will have to do this journey.

Must be a short school journey to and from a Knutsford school, unless there's a bus switch as well.

It does the 188 service from Small Lane/Pepper St at 0810 getting into Knutsford at 0830 then does the return trip at 1530 from Knutsford to Mobberley before returning to Knutsford to recommence service 289.
