Another issue now is the alderley park shuttle, which will have abstracted passengers from the 130 (or 88/27 if it diverted back)

The 27 peak time extension to Congleton was in place from 1997-2012. Bakers won the contract twice on 5 year terms and then Bowers/High Peak continued to run it until their 5 year 27 contract expired and they had a go at running a reduced service commercially, which only lasted a few months before GHA decided to have a go at running it commercially. Bakers did run the vehicles in service from Biddulph (where their depot was) in Congleton but the Biddulph extension ended when Bowers/High Peak took over.
