237 (xx51) 409 journey arriving xx48 likely to be 2/3 mins late and passengers would have to wait a full hour for the next journey and the train leaving guide bridge at around xx53
346 (xx30) 409 journey arriving xx28 which is usually 2/3 mins late leaving passengers waiting at least 30 mins for an alternative journey around the Dukinfield/Hyde area.
348 (xx47) (recently retimed 3 mins earlier from xx50) 409 journey arriving xx48, passengers would have to wait almost a full hour or struggle for an alternative connection (389 (xx00) to Stalybridge and 343 (xx41) for Carrbrook) which gives passengers a real headache.

simple answer get the bus before and wait 15 mins .... plus there changing again at end of the month
