The problem smaller stations in Cheshire have which smaller stations in Merseyside and Greater Manchester don't is that there is no CCTV at small or even medium sized stations in Cheshire and the police only ever go near stations if somethings been reported. I'm aware that Merseyside and Greater Manchester police go to certain stations just to remove teenage loiterers.
I'm aware that even stations which are staffed for 14 hours a day in Cheshire have problems with gangs of teenagers terriosing passengers and causing vandalism.
