On Liverpool - Wigan on Saturday, there are 1 and half hour gaps whereas on earlier strike days this was half hourly. Even worse on Liverpool - Chat Moss - Manchester where there are 3 hour gaps now (previously hourly) although of course this line does have other operators.

The loss of ATW has affected this as some of their management were covering shifts, also ATW were calling additionally at Patricroft, Sandbach etc which is not now happening.
