Returning on the 2007 the train (390135) crossed to the Down Slow at Ditton Junction and stayed on there all the way to Wavertree Junction.

There must have been a time penalty southbound for the crossing over as the service would have been timed for staying on the fast line .

On the northbound services is there still padding in the timetable at the Lime Street end of the route or has that been gradually phased out to speed the service up.
