The default settings on the screens is still 3 car. So if something has happened on that diagram earlier in the day and it hasn't been updated that's what the screen will display.

Both the shuttles and full route ones are as busy as each other in all honesty

Normal service, your first service will be 05:52

Bear in mind only the Wirral Line & Hunts Cross lines will be running in Liverpool this weekend due to planned engineering work. Bus replacements out towards Hall Road, Aintree and Rice Lane.

This! I know a lot of people rail against the big brands and say buy local etc. The problem though is quality can be incredibly poor at some of them

Again, scheduled to run and indeed ran last night. There was a bit of disruption on its previous journey so I'd suggest it was mistakenly input

Still scheduled to run, may just be a mistake. It's happened a few times recently where a service will run but just not appear on any platform cis boards.

With a silly minimal turnaround time at Chester if a Chester train becomes late there's very limited options for returning it to time... A) turn it short somewhere like Birkenhead Central, Rock Ferry, Hooton- this is normally done during a severe delay. B) run it semi fast between a set of...
