The journey in full:

Leg 1 of 3
Depart: 10:26 Altrincham (ALT)
Arrive: 11:29 Manchester Victoria (MCV)
Travel By: Metro


Leg 2 of 3
Depart: 11:29 Manchester Victoria (MCV)
Arrive: 11:35 Salford Crescent (SLD)
Travel By: Train

Leg 3 of 3
Depart: 11:43 Salford Crescent (SLD)
Arrive: 11:52 Manchester Victoria (MCV)
Travel By: Train
If you ask it for the same journey tomorrow departing at 10:26 it suggests a direct journey from Altrincham - Manchester Victoria by Metro.
However for a departure 1 minute later at 10:27 it suggests:-
Altrincham - Deansgate (Metro)
Deansgate - Manchester Oxford Road (train)
Manchester Oxford Road - Salford Crescent (train)
Salford Crescent -Manchester Victoria (train)

We should have a competition on the forum to see who can generate the strangest route suggestion.
