Timings - Hooton Helsby 150th
RE: Timings - Hooton Helsby 150th
The 101's were a regular sight on the Chester -Hooton -Helsby service pre-electridication. It would be quite fitting for a 156 to be on tomorrow given the Met-Cam link

I really hope it is 2 x units whatever traction turns up! Quite a few tickets been sold by all accounts.

Platform 4 at Liverpool Lime Street is booked.

I'm planning on catching

0753 Chester - Runcorn 0814,
0825 Runcorn - Liverpool 0846,
0942 Liverpool-Hooton 1109

then the shuttle until back in Liverpool at 1407.

1422 Liverpool - Ellesmere Port 1500
1534 Ellesmere Port - Helsby 1545
1614 Helsby to Runcorn East 1625
1633 Runcorn East to Chester 1653
...then onto the 1701 towards Liverpool.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.

If I got the 13:00 Bus from Ellesmere Port to Helsby, Would I make the connection to the Special to Liverpool?

You'd be cutting it very fine IMO.

Better of getting the train from ELP at 1318.
