I have only seen a 323 once at lime street station easily 20 years ago but from what I remember before it left I got a quick look on board by permission of the driver and I thought wow.

The amount of room there is seat wise coupled with their longer 23m bodies they have have ample room to accommodate passengers during peak times.

Unfortunately the only peak hour train they will run on out of Liverpool when they do start running is the 1628 to Crewe.All the other services are earlier in the day i.e. off peak and none in the morning peak hour
