It's the stupid running times. If you look at the Times between ellesmere port, oaks, zoo and Chester. It gets more time one way than the other - too much toward Chester and not enough toward Liverpool, especiallyb between wheatsheaf /zoo and oaks, even worse at night as even if you gear a clear run you'll be late at Cheshire oaks and ellesmere port, then only get 5 mins from the port to great Sutton! Usually with a clear run it'll be on time again by Eastham at night. Next time you use the 1 between Chester and Eastham either in day or night take a timetable and keep track of the lateness just to see how daft it is!

On Sunday it's also tighter, which is daft as Sunday is one of the busiest days.
