Expecting the "Interchange" to be an "interchange" between various forms of public transport we are disappointed to find that the railway staiton is 0.8 mile away.
We therefore depart the "Interchange" at 1230 on D&G Bus service 82. We alight at Chester Bus Interchange (stand L) at 1332 on Monday.

A tad confused. Since the previous posting was a rail service into Ormskirk railway station, why was there a need for a six minute walk to the railway station in the above posting?
