A small wait and were on the move on Arriva North West Service 13 at 09:52 to Manchester Airport, Manchester Airport The Station Arriving there at 09:58 Wednesday Morning

May I be so bold to ask when Arriva North West began to run a new service number 13 to the airport. I know of the service 13 Altrincham-Oldfield Brow circular service, but I think that GoGoodwins now run that service, which serves the opposite side to Altrincham than where the airport is situated.
