153913 & 153303, 13.54 Chester-Crewe for 14.25 Crewe-Chester (14.25 Crewe-Chester) (1D58, 1E), Crewe station 153913 and 153303 arrive at Crewe station working the 13.54 from Chester. My wife and would take these units back to Chester as the 1D58 14.25 from Crewe. I really do think that what is essentially a shuttle service between Crewe and Chester with no intermediate stations should be handled by something more substantial than two single-car units coupled together. Both the incoming service and the one that we travelled on was uncomfortably busy. In addition, we left slightly late due to a protracted discussion between the guard and five cyclists three of whom were refused access to the train with their bikes despite having booked them. A particular bugbear of mine is the way that cyclists are treated on the railways in this age. They really must do so much better to accommodate cyclists as leisure travel is now fast becoming more important to their revenue stream post-COVID19 and rather than viewing passengers with bikes as a hindrance, they should be welcomed on board. Incidentally, after further discussions, all the cyclists were permitted to travel on this service with their trusty steads!
