The 17:10 Piccadilly to Chester will be booked as 4 car, so it's possible the existing arrangement of splitting a 4 car set at Chester will continue. However, the ECS is currently booked to run 5 minutes before the Piccadilly arrival, so the ECS wouldn't run to time if that arrangement continues but it would still be possible for the Helsby-Ellesmere Port passenger service to depart on time.

In 2019 the first evening Stockport-Chester was always the first train to be cancelled if there was a crew shortage. At one point it was only running an average of 4 times a week.
