Are they forgetting that certain areas of Knutsford that use to see 4 buses an hour now only see 1 and that on a Saturday, if you want to get to Manchester, you have to use the bus because the train and bus times don't meet?
Most commuters make journeys Mon-Fri. As Cheshire East didn't bother to include an approx 08:00 Knutsford to Wilmslow bus as part of the 88 contract it's fortunate D&G decided to run a commercial 88A in addition, otherwise there would be no suitable bus for those living in Knutsford and working in Wilmslow with a 9am start. I've observed there's always a few schoolkids in a uniform for a Wilmslow school on the 08:00 88A service so obviously Cheshire East forgot about them!
Surely if you can't walk to Knutsford station and don't want a long wait in Knutsford you would use the bus to get to Wilmslow station, where there's a much more frequent service to Manchester than from Knutsford.
