Shame though since I can see where your coming from, if you did a quick route via Warrington Central, you have the mega 40 minute walk, so it's kind of a lose-lose situation.

Just out of interest, if you finish at 2pm, or slightly later, if your quick you could make the 14:22 Northern from BQ to Liverpool Lime Street but have to accept the 25 minute walk, so overall your journey from work to home would be around 1 hour 30 mins.
DAVID,Even if I did make that one Id rather use the service to Chester and catch the Merseyrail service (5minute Conection time at CTR) I don't quite feel safe on Northern Rail trains at all as jsut too many bad experences plus ATW are much cleaner than Northern same goes for Merseyrail plus theres the reliabilty with ATW and MRE.

Saturday Iwas on Stand by duty an decided to take the bike to Halfords to get a tyre plus to a bike shop just by Bank Quay Station neither of them existed anymore in Warrington.

So affter getting soaked wet through I went in and was told I could get off so got an earlier train to take the bike to the shop in shotton to get me gears and tyre done and decided to get the train back to change at Bidston.

The gaurd on the trainwas very rude and agresive to wards me wouldnt hear me out and was demanding extra money anwas threatening to tell the station staff at Bidston so when I got of at Bisdsotn to be on the safe side I got a SGL to L_pool Its the only time I have any problem with ATW.
