Not much choice being out of reach of the railway station and with just the 31 here so to avoid backtracking we wait for the 0916 D&G Bus service 31 to Crewe (Bus Station), arriving there at 0958 on Saturday.

We next board the 2200 Merseyrail service 2C57 to Hamilton Square, arriving there at 2236 on Saturday.
GUERY RAISED

As the service above is a Chester-Liverpool-Chester service on its outwards journey from Chester, even though it will be the same train service on its return, would it be against the rules to reboard it to make a journey in the direction of stations heading from there to those in the Chester area?

Ooh an interesting one. I'd say no it's fine to do so as it's at a different time heading back to Chester (2236 arrival, 2250 departure) and the train has called at other stations since.

Thanks for the clarification, as it was not the usual journey to a terminal station and return but a direct circular service. My recent absence from this thread was caused by an eight-day stay on ward A9 at Wythenshawe Hospital having fractured a small bone in my pelvis when I had a fall.

We next board the 2250 Merseyrail service to Hooton that arrives there at 2312 on Saturday.

An excellent location with Moorfields being the only station on the Merseyrail network having services to all other stations, so we change onto the 0835 Merseyrail service 2S10 to Blundellsands & Crosby, arriving there at 0852 on Sunday.
