I do honestly believe that if the 88 was slightly amended to serve Manchester Airport, it would free the duplication caused with the 288 whilst providing a bus link between the Airport and Wilmslow. I know that this would be useful as when D&G briefly had the 130 between Airport and Wilmslow it was being used between these points including with SystemOne and concessionary holders.

I’m not so sure about the viability of the evening 288. From memory the evening 370 carried very few unique passengers, most of whom travelled between stockport and northenden/Northern moor, and Altrincham-northern moor (now covered by the 11a).

That said, the last bus.towards Altrincham was probably too early for some people’s night out....

When the 370/371 both ran in the evening I’d always thought the 370 would have been more appealing to Evening passengers running stockport - didsbury - northenden - sale.
