I normally get the coach, which at this time of year means being back at Liverpool One by 1605, so not sure if afternoon "peak" stacking on Exchange Street would mean before c.1545 in this context. Off-peak, the Train might be as little as £1.60 extra, but I suspect returning in the evening peak would bung that up by an extra £3-£4 for minimal time saving.

Can someone also remind me when the Cambridge MMCs are due to move to their permanent homes, as I'm due time off when things get quiet at work (early Feb)?

I can only assume very soon after 12 February as that's when the full 6 week-ish closure between Wirral & Liverpool ends, I would expect Cambridge is keen to get them asap especially as some of the current Enviro400's on the P&R there have already started to move to Blackburn for single door conversion....I'm planning to be in Liverpool for some of the evening peak on Monday as my work finishing time fits perfectly so I may be able to post more info then.....

Queen Square and Liverpool One are good places to observe both Arriva and Stagecoach services. There is no real difference between M-F and Sat daytime services.

SO MMCs 10808/09 are all doing service work now and not RR

As for Saturdays, I would assume virtually the same as weekdays, although the Chester allocated ones have been sighted on the X2 between Chester/Ellesmere Port & Runcorn too....I only require 10804 for a photo out of the 15 and it was the only purple one I didn't see today (another person photted both of Chester's orange ones too so looks like that was the only one not out....in Liverpool at least!)

I NEED PHOTOS OF 10808/09

It's possible 10808/9 *may* have turned up at Rock Ferry today.....will try and confirm tomorrow. There was one orange one in the yard at RF earlier this afternoon, but unable to ID as I was driving.....
