It can only be served by trains which currently run between Chester and Warrington Bank Quay. As one of these is hourly to Manchester Airport Daresbury will divert passengers away from Liverpool Airport who our Mayor currently ignores getting any proper transport links to.

On a similar point I'm pleased Frodsham and Helsby now have a direct service to Liverpool and one to Runcorn station, as well as services to Manchester and Runcorn East.

All too often Cheshire stations have a service to either Liverpool or Manchester and miss out important links. For instance, no stopping service between Crewe and Warrington and no link between Northwich and Warrington. For Winsford to Preston you either have to go via Liverpool or go south to Crewe and then come back up passing through Winsford again.
