However absolutely perfect for a Helsby to Victoria commute both ways. Delighted.
Ah. Didn't spot that that the missing one came from Ellesmere Port. That could work actually going from Helsby.
The Chester-Victoria times seem the same as those which briefly appeared on RTT 12 months ago before being pulled in the May meltdown.
Eastbound they split the TfW times nicely, but westbound there is only a short gap between the TfW and Northern services west of Ordsall Lane.
The odd train calls at Eccles.
Schedules, considering the few stops, seem rather slow.
The east end bays at Chester are going to be quite busy fitting in the turnround for these trains and the new Halton Curve service as well as the existing Manchester via Northwich service.
Looks like the Liverpool service is going to be parked on top of the Northwich service in P6, which has a long layover.
The odd 2-hour gap in the TfW Liverpool service in the evening is the consequence of extending one service to Wrexham, so there's no unit for the missing hour.
Unlike the Leeds service, there is a reasonably full service on Sundays.
