North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak

RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
There are 2 staff that work in Booths regularly use the 89. Before the roster change in February the regular driver of the 16.02 Knutsford to Northwich used to wait for them and depart late as they finish at 16.00. At the moment they are using the train A woman that works in Knutsford dry cleaners was the regular 06.45 Northwich to Knutsford passenger.

I don't know if it's still the case but there were 2 or 3 commuters using the 89 to work in Knutsford, which is why the 06:45 Northwich to Knutsford was included as part of the tender requirement. When Howards ran the 289 they wanted that journey removed due to low numbers and being an operational inconvenience but it got deemed as essential due to transporting workers and not just being a left over positional move from when GHA operated the 289 from Tarvin depot.

The 89 is also used by some elderly residents from the Lilac Avenue area of Knutsford to get in and out of town, now that the 300 no longer exists.
