For some bizarre reason Northern decided to implement 2tph between Manchester and Buxton at the May timetable change, despite it not being a franchise requirement. Cancellations also seem to be rare on the Buxton line and even on strike days the Buxton line gets an hourly service over the whole line. It makes no sense when overall the Buxton line has fewer passengers than many of the routes which have either seen changes which are a franchise requirement postponed, or implemented and then immediately cut back again due to an emergency timetable being put in place.
