153303, NT 16.30 Chester-Liverpool Lime Street (1B00, RT) & 150134, NT 17.02 Chester-Manchester Piccadilly (2H33, RT), Chester station
Up for imminent replacement.
Both 153303 and 150134 should
be replaced by new units in the coming couple of years but invertible delays have pushed this back a little. To the left 153303 will soon leave with the 16.30 service to Liverpool Lime Street via Helsby and the Halton curve (Runcorn). These trains offer an alternative route to Liverpool rather than going via the Wirral with Merseyrail. They also offer passengers from Chesire a direct route to Liverpool's John Lennon Airport. To the right, 150134 will work the 2H33 service to Manchester Piccadilly via Norwich and Knutsford.
