Of course most Tatton Park visitors currently arrive by car. There's a lack of other options! A brochure produced by First TPE says if you want to go to Tatton Park it's a short taxi ride from Manchester Airport but if you want to go to Quarry Bank Bill it recommends the 200 bus from Manchester Airport.

The thing to note with Tatton Park is there's a £5 charge for entering the park by car. As the park is managed by Cheshire East council on behalf of the National Trust, National Trust members still have to pay the £5 entry fee, so a £5 day ticket for a local bus company could be an attractive alternative.

Tatton Park gets over 800,000 visitors per annum.


It's not still the 1970s. A considerable number of Airport passengers try to get away as cheaply as possible and try to use smallest case possible to avoid paying for checked in baggage.

I think in a nutshell that is the point? Because knutsford has so many alternative towns closer/similar in time than a bus to warrington would be, it removes multiple potential passenger flows. Because of this the route would rely on multiple unique mid route passengers, which I doubt this route has (considering you probably need 10+ per journey, assuming they're all full fare payees!
