That's probably why it suggested this route in my previous post :

Altrincham - Deansgate (Metro)....where the "Metro" leg is a replacement bus.
Deansgate - Manchester Oxford Road (train)
Manchester Oxford Road - Salford Crescent (train)
Salford Crescent -Manchester Victoria (train)

Looking at the National Rail timetable it is probably slightly quicker to catch a train to Oxford Road from Deansgate and then return on a non-stop service to Salford Cresent than it is to wait at Deansgate for the next direct service.
