Transport for Wales Rail

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
The RTT's timetable does not match with the website's timetable. For instance, in the link below,

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/a...&order=wtt

there is a departure time from Chester at 1910 to Crewe arriving at 1930.

In the website's timetable,

https://tfwrail.wales/sites/tfwrail.wale...04%202.pdf

(see page 17)

the departure time from Chester is at 1855 to Crewe arriving at 1918.

This has happening under short term planning arrangements for months, going back pre-TfW - the 18.55 from Chester has been running later formed by the incoming 15.10 Swansea - the set off the 18.23 from Crewe going empty to the Junction.
;
I first spotted it after bolting my pint to catch the 18.55 - but that's insignificant compared to the fact it breaks the London connection at Crewe, which I am pretty sure was part of ATWs train service spec.

This has occurred since the double 175 set on 1750 Manchester-Holyhead with a portion for Llandudno that split at Junction became a single unit. The 150 goes ECS to Junction to cover the trips into town.

Website says full service from Monday - the aforementioned change continues though.

ATW May 2019 times now in RTT - different to the times in the TAA but still with two hour evening gap.

We have the new Chester-Liverpool.

What type of Modifications? Paths look right to me

The Liverpool-Chester path is correct please ignore that.

The modification I was referring to is that for example the 1855 service from Chester to Crewe (arriving at 1918) could be rescheduled to 1910 (arriving to Crewe at 1930).

Interesting to see that the new Liverpool lime St - Chester service takes exactly the same journey time as the Merseyrail Service. I wonder how this would compare fare wise.

No - Chester-Crewe trains require to connect into xx.30 London services. The reason it currently doesn't is unit shortage.
.
It is interesting the unit for the morning Wrexham-Liverpool is shown to detach at Croes Newydd North Fork off the existing ECS - presumably the crossover must be in the overlap of the platform signal
