Greater Manchester Service Changes

RE: Greater Manchester Service Changes
A blog site has one of the old X1 PMT timetables, I notice it mentions subsided by various councils including Cheshire County Council, meaning the operator wouldn't have had free choice over the route e.g. if CCC said it needs to provide a service between Poynton and Hazel Grove to get the subsidy then it had to go that way. I also notice there was a morning return working between Leek and Macclesfield only operated by Arriva Midlands, presumably to compensate for the first PMT service being too late for workers.
