RE: Transport for Wales Rail - boby32 - 10/12/2018 18:55
The RTT's timetable does not match with the website's timetable. For instance, in the link below,
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/CTR/2018/12/10/1930?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt
there is a departure time from Chester at 1910 to Crewe arriving at 1930.
In the website's timetable,
https://tfwrail.wales/sites/tfwrail.wales/files/2018-11/PTT%204%202.pdf
(see page 17)
the departure time from Chester is at 1855 to Crewe arriving at 1918.

This has happening under short term planning arrangements for months, going back pre-TfW - the 18.55 from Chester has been running later formed by the incoming 15.10 Swansea - the set off the 18.23 from Crewe going empty to the Junction.
;
I first spotted it after bolting my pint to catch the 18.55 - but that's insignificant compared to the fact it breaks the London connection at Crewe, which I am pretty sure was part of ATWs train service spec.

This has occurred since the double 175 set on 1750 Manchester-Holyhead with a portion for Llandudno that split at Junction became a single unit. The 150 goes ECS to Junction to cover the trips into town.

Website says full service from Monday - the aforementioned change continues though.

ATW May 2019 times now in RTT - different to the times in the TAA but still with two hour evening gap.

We have the new Chester-Liverpool.

What type of Modifications? Paths look right to me

The Liverpool-Chester path is correct please ignore that.
The modification I was referring to is that for example the 1855 service from Chester to Crewe (arriving at 1918) could be rescheduled to 1910 (arriving to Crewe at 1930).
RE: Transport for Wales Rail - Raawwwrrr! - 29/12/2018 14:01
Interesting to see that the new Liverpool lime St - Chester service takes exactly the same journey time as the Merseyrail Service. I wonder how this would compare fare wise.

No - Chester-Crewe trains require to connect into xx.30 London services. The reason it currently doesn't is unit shortage.
.
It is interesting the unit for the morning Wrexham-Liverpool is shown to detach at Croes Newydd North Fork off the existing ECS - presumably the crossover must be in the overlap of the platform signal
