Variable. Those at sensible times of the day are reasonably well loaded, particularly at holiday times (half term, summer, etc.) - it seems many people do like the fact that they do run direct. Peak commuter ones are also well used to/from Chester, but no further really than Prestatyn/Rhyl - but are definitely needed as ATW runs are crammed at this time. Those that connect with the ferry can be busy, again especially on days when airlines can get away with charging more. Otherwise it's mostly the 'retired major' types and a few students from Bangor, but not much else.mat, thanks. What are loadings like after chester on welsh runs? Have used those services through the trent valley but never further than crewe
That said, only once have I been on a single voyager west of Chester where I thought a doubled unit was necessary. A single unit for the coast, doubled between Chester and Euston, is normally plenty.
