I concur with Chrisgr31. :)
Nothing wrong with steam charters, or heritage diesels and electrics. A great many enthusiastically get great joy from them. I am a commuter and a heritage enthusiast. Both are compatible.
30 second walk from Frodsham station is the Helter Skelter pub with good food and a large selection of local and UK real ales. No toilets at Frodsham station though so go before you leave. :)
