It was a twice-weekly service that ran around the estates and helped Marple and High Lane residents who were not quite as able as some.  There was one bus that was the 303 then the 305 in the morning and then the same in the afternoon.  Tuesdays and Thursday if memory serves.  When I was a cllr,  with the help of Cllr @ColinMac , a petition was raised and we did approach Stockport council and TfGM, but the low numbers and hard financial times meant it stopped a while back, unlike the subsidised 394 Glossop service that is still going Mon - Fri.
Surprisingly, Marple Station were given a whole load of bus timetables a few weeks back and the 303/304/305 service timetable was amongst them.  Left hand... right hand....

Its an old service - just found this in some TfGM minutes in the web:

303/304/305
Marple - High Lane Circular/Marple – Hyde/ Marple - Rose Hill Circular
High Peak Buses
Services 303 (Marple - High Lane Circular) and 305 (Marple - Rose Hill Circular) currently operate two journeys each on Tuesdays and Fridays. Service 304 provides two return journeys between Hyde and Marple with one morning journey from Compstall to Marple on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The average patronage on service 303 is 10.79 per trip, on service 304 it is 8.64 and on service 305 it is 8.08. However the majority of these passengers have alternative services within 400m.
As part of the ongoing work to achieve best value officers are proposing to withdraw all journeys on these services.
Members are asked to approve the recommendation for withdrawal of the above services with effect from 27 October 2017.

Seems to have been run by High Peak Transport
