Macclesfield to Goostrey via Warsaw?

Googled on this and was amazed to find as the second and third hits, links to a Polish form of British rail enquiries! Can't find Macclesfield or Goostrey in the source of that page and if I try to get a timetable it wants an intermediate station (well it does need one!). The Google summary reads:

Tablica przyjazdów/odjazdów dla stacji Wilmslow
... 9:10 - Goostrey 9:25 Holmes Chapel 9:35 - Sandbach 9:48 - Crewe 10:05 Kursuje 5.
Sty do 21. Maj Pn - Pt; oprócz 9. Kwi. 8:45, Bus, Macclesfield Macclesfield 9:15 ...

Beth suggests it is for the benefit of Polish agricultural workers coming over here.

The number one Google hit was a rant about when the Macclesfield - Stoke line was closed in 2003 by someone at Jodrell

Of course by the time you check the google it may have changed the hits given to make a more useful site higher in the rankings but that would spoil the fun!
