I'm sure the 188 school service is supposed to have at least 37 seats but then it doesn't have to be operated by the same vehicle as the 289 even though the contract was awarded on the basis the 188 and 289 are covered with a PVR of 1. The last day of Howards running the 289 will be tomorrow, from Tuesday the Northwich-Knutsford section of the 289 and 188 service are being transferred to be 88 contract, High Legh-Knutsford will be covered by a limited 47 service and High Legh-Altrincham is being withdrawn altogether.
