There is Blackpool north-Liverpool Lime street service which departs from Blackpool at 1803 and arriving at Liverpool at 1929 (service ID is 2F65). This service stops at Preston at 1830. I propose that this service should be started from Preston at 1832 and arriving at Liverpool at 1929. Here's the reason why.

The new Liverpool Lime Street-Preston service, from Monday, departs from Liverpool at 1717 and arrives Preston at 1830. I suggest that this service forms a return journey by departing from Preston at 1832 and arriving at Liverpool at 1929.

Two things,what's wrong with leaving the existing Blackpool-Liverpool service at 1803 ex Blackpool as it is and leaving the 319 that leaves Liverpool at 1717 doing what it does now and return on the 1930 ex Preston,and secondly if your idea was followed how do you propose to supply Allerton depot with that DMU it now receives when the 1803 Blackpool-Liverpool arrives at Liverpool and then goes to Allerton depot?.
