'Frequent'? If you mean the CLC line, has it ever seen more than two stopping trains an hour? Manchester end, even less.
"As of the May 2022 timetable, an average of eight trains an hour stop at Warrington Central at off-peak times." If you're a Warringtonian, I'd say that is a fairly 'frequent' service.
As I recall, it was at its worst for a brief period in the 80s when there would be an hourly stopper in each direction between Manchester and Hunts Cross (somewhat uselessly as most Liverpool-bound passengers wouldn't have expected to change), with an hourly fast in each direction between Liverpool Lime Street and Hull.
