If you open a service like this out to commuters or local passengers by adding extra stops, it has the potential to get flooded with people between Liverpool and St Helens and vice versa, who purely use this train only as it is an express, therefore potentially providing capacity issues for passengers travelling further afield.

Again, I'll reiterate, the purpose of this service is to provide new city to city connections, not town to town.

Spot on with your comments.
