However, I did NOT object to the 88 diversion per se, I just thought that as an commuter market had been established into Altrincham, any kind of diversion would detract from it - and its hardly cost neutral if an extra bus has to be put in the cycle anyway. I merely suggested another alternative.
As for the Police taking action against all night parties, I can only assume that Cheshire Constabulary does not face the same funding problems as ECCC's transport unit - nor indeed GMP. Even before the cuts bit, we rang GMP a few years ago, when a house party spilled over into the street with aggresive arguments, bottles being thrown, and about 18 people seemed to be congregating around our gate. We were given short shrift by the Police, as it was a "trivial" incident.

You keep dragging this thread more and more off-topic. I said the police can take action, I didn't say I'm aware of such incidents happening in Cheshire and Cheshire police take action.

As for commuter markets - the 88 will go past the new Amazon distribution centre when it opens so there could be the option of more than 2 services per hour at peak times between Wilmslow and Altrincham. It seems the extra passengers as a result of the Waters Corporation development at peak times already more than exceeds the extra seats provided by the enhanced frequency.
