Compared to Northern Rail and other regional operators, it's not enough!

They still have a twitter presence that is quite large. Most tweets I see sent do not get a reply.

RE: Merseyrail
The start of December always usually sees an increase in capacity , it is a throwback from the days of the Christmas Cracker.

Santa dash taking place in Liverpool this morning, think this is why. However all Sundays up to christmas should see all services strengthened to 6 cars IMO.

Services on December Sundays have been strengthened to six cars for a long time now, LVC. As Wirralbus says, it is goes back to the Christmas Cracker £1 return promotion.

Before circa 2008, all routes except New Brighton and Ellesmere Port had pairs but since then a full six car operation has been the norm. The peak time six cars on Thursdays are usually kept on all evening in December as well.

RE: Merseyrail
The service on the chester and Ellesmere port line in the last few days has just become so unreliable .

I do wonder whether a leaf fall timetable on the Chester - Liverpool and Hunts Cross - Southport may have to be implemented sometime in the future , which adds extra time into the timetable .

The delays caused out in the country end of the routes involved are some times increased as they pass through Liverpool as they are out of sync with the timetable , this year there seems to have been big problems both north and south of Liverpool and on the Chester line in and around Capenhurst , Eastham Rake , Bromborough Rake and Spital all regular problem areas .

liverpool to hunts cross is bad due to the track going through gorges and the lots of trees lineside
