Just wondering why they divert via the Middlewich freight line rather than head upto Warrington or reverse at Greenbank back onto the WCML.

There is a shortage of paths between Crewe and Warrington. Chester-Frodsham jumped in May from 1tph to 3tph and that is probably close to the limit of the signalling.
No. Or not in a way that doesnt involved using a freight only siding
Shame. I'd love to tick off that curve.
In a nutshell it’s because most of us no longer sign via Helsby. Only Preston drivers do. We used to and no longer do anymore.
I think Northern only run a parliamentary over it dont they?
TfW run the hourly Liverpool - Chester which I think is the only service booked
Warrington-Helsby-Chester isn’t a parliamentary service. Every hour now by Northern to Leeds. The ones to Ellesmere Port are though.
