some advice about cheap season tickets

the following will be happening on alternate days, Monday to Friday
I start in Alderley Edge, travel to college in Cheadle Hulme, then after college continue to Flowery Field. I then travel to Heald Green and stay the night

I start in Heald Green, travel to college in Cheadle Hulme, continue to Rose Hill, then from Rose Hill go to Alderley Edge, staying the night

I'm not sure about this, but speaking as someone who used to live in Manchester (and having checked Traveline) Heald Green <> Cheadle Hulme would be much better by bus (about 15-20 mins, direct) rather than going via Manchester Picc or Wilmslow. Perhaps some experts can advise, but I would look at the System One County Card (any bus and/or train in the relevant area - see ) for some journeys and, although it pains me to say this, look at using the bus for some other journeys as well as they might bypass Manchester City Centre.

The System One site is here:http://www.systemonetravelcards.co.uk/travelcards.php

Only trouble is that it doesn't cover the bits outside Greater Manchester

See:

I'll give you a warning, it looks that possibly as soon as April/May the bus routes outside the county borders which have recieved GMPTE concessionary fares in the past will no longer recieve them.

I'd say a Countycard (£30.20 a week) (or traincard (£24.50 a week) if you're not using buses), singles between Alderley edge and Bramhall and singles from Bramhall/Manchester Airport (depending on the route the train takes to Alderley Edge.

Bear in mind that the train need not stop at Bramhall in this instance. Countycards and Traincards can also be bought for a month and a year.
