    TFW 2024 Timetable consultation.

    Well that true, however it's not unreasonable for people of Liverpool and North Wales to expect direct services as they always did in the past. If they go to Manchester they should be going to Liverpool, which is much closer.

    TFW 2024 Timetable consultation.

    I use it from Frodsham to Liverpool and a lot of people use it from there, but it's disappointing that direct services from Liverpool to North and South Wales that were promised are still not there, years later.

    I remember the days when you could reach Charing Cross directly from Bromley North .

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    I agree, it should go.beyond Chester. Ive only been on it as a 2 car recently. It needs to be hourly and go somewhere further, that was always the plan. Runcorn hasnt got the best of services for the size of the town. Avanti and LNWR are unbelievable, at least TFW tends to run. The Manchester...

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    Fingers crossed......again 1706205622 I have friends from Wales who use it to reach Liverpool Airport, alighting at South Parkway 1706205839 Sorry don't agree, I use it often and not in the peaks, and it's popular, in the relatively short time the service has returned even with the poor...

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    The TFw service as it is Chester to Liverpool is worth running, i use it often from Frodsham and its well supported, even with the rubbish service level. The Merseyrail service is useless to me for getting to the city, plus the TFw route serves the airport. What is needed asap, is hourly as it...

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    My two go to stations for travelling to Liverpool is Frodsham or Acton Bridge. Even though Acton Bridge is slightly closer, I use Frodsham as TFW service is more reliable, albeit still infrequent. In addition the fare from Acton Bridge is far higher. The TFW service from Liverpool continues to...

    So many false starts :rolleyes: 1705916841 I agree with you, but the alternatives are not much better.

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    It wouldn't be too expensive if it was London. I can't believe something like this is holding up a reintroduction of a much needed service. God the wheels move so slow in the UK, if at all.

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    The only thing is Hartford and Winsford are quite busy stations. Saturdays are always busy heading into Liverpool.

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    Its very poor. Connections between Liverpool and Crewe are really pretty bad 1 ( sometimes 2 ) LNWR , and 1 Avanti...thats if they aren't cancelled. Liverpool - Runcorn not much better, just the extra TFW Chester service, which will finally return to hourly this month....ooops delayed again now Jan.

    How about the line through Dawlish, its much busier. Put up bridges if its an issue.

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    Yes the 7 30 Avanti ex Lime St was cancelled, so they all got on the next LNWR , which I got on, unfortunately it was only 4 carriages .

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    Not a great idea to drop capacity, if these new new trains are not going to appear for a year or two. Christmas travel should be interesting.

    What about Liverpool- Llandudno ? Both Cardiff and Llandudno are mega slow in coming to realisation.

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    When are these due ?? New Street shortly already full. No news on return of 30 min service ?

    Birmingham to Liverpool capacity drop

    Travelled to Birmingham today from Acton Bridge, the 07.59, was packed , only 4 carriages . Turns out the 07.30 Lime Street to Euston was cancelled, so even worse than it would be. I see my.return this afternoon at 15.34 also only 4 cars rather than the normal 8. Still no 30 min service, so...

    TFW to increase frequency on the Liverpool-Chester and Ebbw Vale Branch from January 2024

    They have been pretty poor coming up with the goods on this service so far.

    TFW Liverpool-Cardiff

    I've contacted the LCR mayor about it, as I believe the funding for the Halton curve project was if not wholly, the greater proportion was funded by the city region. It can't be right that the then awarded franchise, just doesn't do what was projected.
