That said, I also agree that there is a slight missed opportunity with the X8 not stopping at Birkenhead, looking back to the days of the X11, that used to leave Birkenhead with a standing load bound for Chester in the early days when it was half-hourly.

I do however agree that the service is hardly an express and I for one will continue to use the 1 and 2 services, and perhaps the X8 will shift some of the tourists that visit Cheshire Oaks onto that route rather than clogging up seats with their shopping.

That would have had the X2 backtracking near enough on itself to get out to Cheshire Oaks to then access the M53 after calling at Ellesmere Port Bus Station .

I think as a lot of people on here have said the 15 minute train service seems to soak up the end to end traffic Liverpool / Birkenhead to Chester.

The X8 does not observe all stops
