John,
If you want to look for yourself the National Routeing Guide can be found here:

I think you will find that tickets between Liverpool and Warrington or Hunts Cross and Warrington are only valid on the direct routes.
I agree that "Northern" appear to have more than their fair share of tatty trains but unless you want to increase your journey costs considerably then I can't really see any alternative to using their services.
