The Robinswood stop site provides little additional catchment along Robinswood Road south of Simonsway, in addition to the catchment provided by the stops at Woodhouse Park, Peel Hall, Wythenshawe Town Centre and Shadowmoss. However, as noted above one of either Crossacres or Robinswood should be retained to maintain access for the Brownley Road properties. 26 2.13. The removal of either Crossacres or Robinswood stop would improve the value for money for the scheme as a whole and improve journey times without having a detrimental impact on the number of passengers.

It suggested a saving of £1.2 million could have been made by removing the stop from the scheme without any detriment to future income. The stop is within a couple of minutes walk of the Wythenshawe Town Centre stop and the Peel Hall stop.[ citation needed ]
