Yes. Warrington Coachways provided an hourly service most hours via High Legh. They didn't provide a departure for Altrincham from High Legh between 08:00 and 09:00 though but did provide a departure from Altrincham for High Legh between 17:00 and 18:00, so the Warrington Coachways and 289 service combined allowed someone in High Legh working normal office hours in Altrincham to get to and from work using the bus. When the Warrington Coachways service was withdrawn there was talk of an additional 289 service in the evening peak between Altrincham and Knutsford only but it never materialised.

The 47 also allowed someone in High Legh to get to/from Knutsford so routing the 289 via High Legh allowed an alternative with the 47 getting withdrawn.
