The only possible rationale I could see for this would be to avoid duplication between the 88 and 288 between Hale Barns and Altrincham. That would only be achieved if the 288 was withdrawn and the subsidy diverted to the 88 which would have to be re-routed to additionally serve the airport.

Interestingly, I see on the TfGM website that route 88 has a TfGM timetable leaflet. I'm sure previously it used to be an operator-produced or Cheshire East leaflet.
