Only problem with that is you'd have to change at Greenbank for services to Northwich, Knutsford and Altrincham and you'd have to pay me to do that.
If you're referring to Philip's earlier proposal there's a lot more than one problem with it.
And give me a small private army for protection. I used to go to the hell hole of St. Nicks and there were several cases of bus windows being smashed by locals and them trying to gain acces to buses.
Are you trying to refer to school pupils doing that or buses being left at depots being vandalised?
I too went to St Nicks and I'm unaware of any incidents where windows were smashed. A number of operators used very old vehicles and some of those were known to fall apart - in one case a door falling off a bus on a day when VOSA turned up to do an inspection!
I imagine the Winsford to St Nicks services were the ones where problems were most likely to occur given they were the ones Cheshire County Council used to trial a yellow school bus scheme on with designated seating and drivers checking off a register of names as pupils boarded.
I'd personally build a link from Knutsford to Alderly Edge to compliment the Sandbach to Northwich route and have the 3rd train go Sandbach - Man Airport via Northwich & Knutsford. Then widen the Navigation Road - Stockport section and reopen Gatley station. Hell this entire comment could become it's own thread!
Why not just the western link between the end of the Airport spur and Mobberley, which is a proposal Network Rail are
supposed to be revisiting as a CP6.
