Even running every 2 hours on weekdays isn't enough given how busy the viewing park can be at peak times. Howards can have almost full loads sometimes. I think it is kind of a last minute decision to throw out the trial service or at least it looks that way or TFGM wouldn't be sending in the 288 in there at weekends if an alternative is available.

Well the obvious problem with weekends only is a rare flight or a new type of aircraft making it's first flight to Manchester can occur on a weekday and the aviation enthusiastics will want to come on days when there's a special flight not on days the 288 runs to the viewing park.

The new 288 is also serving Airport City at times and it seems on weekdays TfGM have prioritised Airport City over the Viewing Park but at weekends it's the other way around.
