Hooton
Also terminating at Hooton is the 2330 (daily, including Sundays) from Chester - but that's really just a short working of what would otherwise be the standard clock-face xx00 / xx30 evening service to Liverpool. This one, (the last of the day) terminates public service at Hooton, then runs empty to Birkenhead Central carriage sidings.
** 'track micro spotters' might like to note this train is booked to use the cross-over just north of Hooton station, so as to terminate at Hooton platform 3 - nominally the Liverpool-bound one.
I can claim some credit for this short working. When I was a passenger representative on the long gone Ellesmere Port & Neston Public Transport Liaison committee, I persuaded the aforesaid body to lobby for this train to run to Hooton in service instead of ECS in order to connect with the last Liverpool - Ellesmere Port train.
