If the shorts are terminating at Green Lane, that could be interesting with parked cars, which persistently block the stop and would prevent safe turning. Welcome to the world of CEC lunacy and waste.

The old timetable, that included a P1, is here: https://assets.ctfassets.net/nv7y93idf4j...042016.pdf

It used to be 2 buses per hour from Poynton to Hazel Grove - one operated by GHA, the other by High Peak, with no interchangeable ticketing. Note the bizarre morning peak arrangement, where southbound P1s departed Hazel Grove at similar times to 392s/393s, to give one service only a few minutes after the previous, then a gap of around an hour!

Now it's 2 hourly under one operator. A consistent hourly under one operator is perhaps middle ground. Although, I don't know enough about the current demand and unfulfilled demand to comment on the best compromise.
