Hold on....we arrived at Lea Green at 0718.
Simultaneous post. Sorry for not realising sooner.

Whilst York does have a 24 hour service across the Pennines I don't particularly see the fun in shuttling back and forth there and Manchester, so we have a short rest before returning for the 0528 TransPennine Express service 1F50 to Lea Green, arriving there at 0718 on Wednesday morning.
Note the arrival time is 07:14.

We then board the 07:27 Northern service to Warrington Bank Quay, arriving there at 07:49 on a Wednesday.
