Cheshire East proposed funding cuts

RE: Cheshire East proposed funding cuts
The consultation is now open: http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_a...eview.aspx

Please note the consultation document is misleading in places. For instance, for the 27 route it says "A 2 hourly frequency will be retained" when the frequency is currently every 90 to 120 minutes and the proposed timetable will be every 120 to 150 minutes. I've also noticed it says the 88 route would remain underchanged when in fact there would no longer be any services via Altrincham Road (direct.)

Also mentioned in the consultation document is the plan to introduce a £3 charge for pass holders using flexible buses e.g. the D&G Little Bus services. So some villages will lose their regular services (where passes allow free travel) and if pass holders want to travel on the replacement flexible bus they'll have to book in advance, travel on a specific day and time and pay £3.

Some town councillors have been discussing the below alternative proposal to replace the 27/47/88/188/200/289 services which would reduce the PVR by 1-2 buses (depending on the day and time) but provide an overall more consistent and useful timetable and keep a bus service on all routes except High Legh to Altrincham.



Unfortunately, it's gone a bit blury when being converted to an image but I do have it in a spreadsheet form as well if anyone wants to see the original spreadsheet.
