Exactly and they'll be a number of factors outside the control of the bus operator such as what employers decide to do, how many medical appointments are face-to-face, what other public transport operators decide to do in the area, how many shops and businesses have fully reopened etc.

I notice in Cheshire Northern's Chester-Northwich-Knutsford-Altrincham-Manchester service seems to be their most neglected route but D&G's 88 & 89 bus services serving Northwich, Knutsford & Altrincham were one of the first to go back to their normal timetable. Possibly someone at either D&G or Cheshire East thought the 88/89 bus routes could carry some of the passengers that Northern have forgotten about?
