There will be 4 services to Manchester in 33 minutes at the height of the morning peak, so commuters from Hazel Grove will still have an excellent service. Hazel Grove had an extra service not required in the May 2018 timetable because Northern got their paths approved for the Buxton line but didn't for the Mid Cheshire, so they needed somewhere to send the train terminating at Stockport, which they hadn't planned for when diagramming Hazel Grove/Buxton services.
