Any reason why the even numbers seem to be arriving before the odd ones recently?

I can only assume 2 production lines and one was heavily affected by the shutdown in March.

I'm a little confused by the new 378/9 routes through Bramhall. TFGM have now issued a PDF timetable of the route but the map only shows 379 journeys serve the old 307/8 route through the Dairyground estate, which wouldn't make sense as they only go in one direction. Does anyone know?

Although they are running circulars around Heald Green, they are running like seperate services on that bit. So all 378s stay on Bramhall Lane, and all 379s via the Dairyground.

I think the original plan according to the TfGM notes published a month or so ago about planned future changes, it stated all services would run round the Dairyground, however i am guessing this plan was changed due to stops on the main road (Bramhall Lane) being ommited.

The evening service is also not correct on the map. The 378A should run via a circular loop as current 378 to Grove Lane then Gillbent Road/Church Road/Ack Lane to Bramhall Village.

Thanks that makes a bit more sense. It does seem that Tfgm are confusing things here a bit.
