I've thought now electrified, couldn't one of the 3 trains per hour betweem Manchester & London be extended to Liverpool calling at St Helens Junction, two objectives here, one being an extra London service from Liverpool and secondly giving St Helens a direct service to London.

Apologies for going slightly off topic but seeing as the matter was raised, thought I would add a viewpoint on this.
