I often get the X1, sometimes it can be half full one way, but it's often full to standing when i see the X1 going past in the other direction.

The 500 needs to be speeded up between Liverpool and Liverpool South Parkway / John Lennon Airport to make that service more palatable to passengers who are being forced onto it from Runcorn .

This is going to be another case of people using the train to get to Runcorn and using the local bus network when they arrive there to complete there journey.
