It's a shame but was probably going to happen sooner or later with the "Bee network" coming in.

It follows the current disruption to the CAT5, with a shuttle bus linking Sale and Warburton (a couple of shorts just as far as Partington).

Just looking at the X5 times that's going to create an awkward timetable/allocation.

Trying to run an hourly 5A using 1 vehicle is going to be tight, with the journey time being close to 30 minutes each way. Same with an hourly 289.

Why don't TfGM run retain the through running from Lymm to Manchester Airport as a single route using 2 vehicles?

I also think Cheshire East council could look at whether it's viable to work with Warrington council on extending the 5A into their patch, given there's currently no bus service on any of the roads between Broomedge and Knutsford town centre, whether it's via High Legh, Rostherne or Bucklow Hill. After all Tatton Park is one of the most visited attractions in the North West, but then Cheshire East council do benefit from parking revenue there.
