Merseytravel - 30 Year Plan

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Merseytravel - 30 Year Plan
I think the second Virgin service per hour should be an extension of one of the 3 per hour Manchesters and call at St Helens Junction thus relieving the congestion from the 1 train at Lime Street and giving St Helens a direct link to London.

I do wonder if given what's happened recently in Newcastle and Birmingham, we will see Merseyrail nationalised/taken back in house - it does appear to be a trend at the moment and the authorities concerned are stating it is more cost effective.
