Divert via a more populous area, thereby doubling the journey time, and you stand to lose a good proportion of those passengers to car or rail - which isn't great for financial viability either!

There's a balance to be struck, and picking up passengers as often as possible isn't necessarily the optimum solution.

The problem then arises of the part of the route you miss out between Helsby and Ellesmere Port if you do run via Chester , its a Catch 22 situation .
