Not sure. The network map on Northern's website shows a limited service already.

This is a winner anyway, as we've been to Warrington Bank Quay in Post #154390.

Real Time Trains shows no service from Runcorn to Frodsham. I will check other sources and return with an adjudication. Until then, please do not continue.

Perhaps there isn't. What happens now?

ADJUDICATION

Runcorn to Frodsham is not a valid move. There are no trains in the current timetables which do this.

From May 2019, Transport for Wales will run direct services. Prior to this date, there was a Summer Saturday only parliamentary service, but this ran non-stop from Chester and there was no southbound equivalent.

Frodsham (post #154420) needs to be struckthrough. Runcorn East (post #154425) has already been struckthrough.

Play continues from here (post #154419 - Runcorn):

My apologies. In which case, Winsford is a win. (Quite apt really.)
