No clue as to the route between Macclesfield and Manchester Airport, as there's no map or timing points in between, but Traveline has the map, which suggests the route will be through Adlington and then cutting through to the A555 along the B5358 just south of Poynton.

Departures from Ashbourne are at 0915, 1115, 1315, 1530 (1515 schooldays) and 1730 (1715 Saturdays via Alton Towers). Journey time are 35 minutes to Leek, 60 minutes to Macclesfield, 100 minutes (1 hour 40) to Manchester Airport and then as X57, 135 minutes (2 hours 15) to Manchester Chorlton Street.

Departures from Manchester are at 0845 (Saturdays via Alton Towers), 1110, 1310, 1510 and 1710. Journey times are 60 minutes to Macclesfield, 85 minutes (1 hour 25) to Leek and 120 minutes (2 hours) to Ashbourne.

Quote:Hulleys of Baslow route
A new service X1 will operate, Monday to Saturday, between Ashbourne, Leek, Macclesfield and Manchester Airport, continuing to Manchester city centre as service X57. This will be a limited stop services, calling at timing points only.

This would imply that the route could go via Alderley Edge or even could do what the X71 buses do on a Sunday when they interwork between the X71 and X57. Go via the A523 then the Link Road. I think it is fully traffic dependant and will adjust route accordingly.
