The 79/79C/79D will be a combined 5 minute frequency with 79C terminating at Widnes

The 82A will be every 20 mins but only to Widnes to improve reliability

Great to hear - due to the running times (just over 2 hours on the 79C including a few minutes' stand time at Widnes, and just over 1hr30 on the 79D including a few minutes off at Netherley), I reckon they'll be interworking the 79C with the other 79's and using deckers - that is, if they don't want them sitting around for a very long time between runs.
Based on current running times, it looks to me like it would work best if they went 79C -> 79 -> 79D -> 79 -> ... but we'll see.
