While the standard timetable is every hour, there's some 1hr20 minute gaps between services at times Mon-Fri.

Hmm, some interesting bits with this.
Increased layover/recovery at Macc - about time
Running time broadly the same - still only 8 mins in Manchester - not enough, but prob down to GMPTE restrictions.

The unattractive peak frequency widening continues, as they seem unwilling to put in extra resource.

The last bus out of Macc on Saturday still ridiculously early, which goes through to Manchester, but doesn't have a return working. Dead all the way back to Macc?. Wasteful.
Could of squeezed two Wilmslow shorts out of that, with a later Macc departure.

The frequenc cut doesn't exactly encourage use, especially with the CEC cuts on their way.

Overall disappointing. The managed decline continues.
