Northern (Arriva Rail North)

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)
Some general improvements through St Helens Central, the Blackpool service now runs through all day (in previous years it was truncated at Preston early morning and from mid evening) and the 2 trains per hour now run all on a Sunday (this drops down to 1 after 2000 presently). Obviously better connectivity on Chat Moss with TPE now stopping along the route although there are some peak Northern Liverpool - Manchester Victoria journeys. One strange move is that the Sunday Liverpool - Wilmslow service drops back an hour every hour at Lime Street whereas other routes appear to be self contained.
