The arrival of the Class 175s on TFW's Liverpool services represents a step-change for passengers on this route that was launched on 19.05.19. Initially, Class 150s were employed on the trains to Chester and Wrexham offering an alternative to Merseyrail's Wirral route. TFW services are much quicker, in most cases cheaper, their services have toilets as well as offering a direct link to Liverpool's John Lennon airport. They travel via Runcorn, the reinstated Halton Curve towards Frodsham and then Helsby. 175011 waits at Lime Street to work the 1B09 service to Chester. Meanwhile, Northern's 156641 will work the 11.17 to Manchester Oxford Road.
