RE: Go Goodwins
In my experience there was passengers when it was between Airport and Wilmslow. Whilst it probably didn't have enough to merit continued commercial usage, to have the 88 serve the Airport it would give them passengers back a service that links the two areas.

My main point was that the 288 and 88 duplicate most of the route, and that driver resources could be taken from the Altrincham - Airport element of the route and used for the East - Didsbury section instead; with the 88 having an extra connection.

I understand that routes need subsidising, and that franchising the profits made from this can be used to subsidise the route rather than the likes of Stagecoach generating a lot of profit on the daytime route but then still expecting taxpayer money for evening services (where they tend to use Dayriders bought earlier in the day).
