In a move that could be confusing, the 288 service operated by Arriva and serving Knutsford, Wilmslow and Altrincham is set to be called Connect 88. It’s one thing to change operator and bring in new buses but changing the route name is another. A name change is a minor irritation but it can confound and I have seen search results for the 288 in the stats for this site. So, here’s a link to the timetable that applies from next Monday and further information on Cheshire East Council’s website: Connect 88. All should become clearer once you go over there.
Update on 2012-01-30: Above link updated because Cheshire County Council no longer exists.

Melissa,
Here is the timetable for the 88: http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/pdf/Tr-Pub-Connect-88.pdf. You’ll find a few more at http://ontrainsandbuses.com/timetables-for-selected-bus-services/urbaninterurban-buses/ and there is the Traveline website at http://www.traveline-northwest.co.uk/ too. Hope these help.

I have spotted notices on Arriva buses stating that they do not accept Connect 88 tickets. I wonder why…
