I think the main thing to consider is how that will affect people who have to make journeys with multiple legs, possibly on multiple modes of transport. For instance, Altrincham-Chester and Altrincham-Stockport trains are only to be every 2 hours and Altrincham-Warrington buses will only be hourly so a missed connection at Altrincham will mean a long wait for some people, possibly increasing the chance of someone deciding to do non-essential shopping to pass the time.
