For Mobberley station they only talk about getting a CIS installed and for Goostrey they talk about looking at a better walking route from the station to Jodrell Bank. They also talk about a walking and cycling route from Knutsford, which could end up being a walking route from Knutsford station to Parkgate Industrial Estate to Mobberley. While they talk about a bus running to Jodrell Bank they do not say anything about it serving Goostrey station or the village of Goostrey, it's mentioned on the Knutsford page but there is no guarantee that if a bus is introduced that it would even form a direct connection between Knutsford and Jodrell Bank. They talk about better bus/rail connections generally and mention that as a specific proposal for Knutsford station.

You can put a blue sign up and turn any road into a cycling route. I'm intrigued by the idea of walking from Goostrey to Jodrell Bank though. I can't imagine too many people try that. The Jodrell Bank website says the easiest way for anyone using train is to go to Macclesfield and get a taxi from there.
