Yeah, tbh it's hard to resolve, but the 7 and 110 aren't co-ordinated very well between Penketh and Warrington, meaning that one of the 7's per hour does very well on this stretch, but the other does not (though that is making the wildly unrealistic assumption of working to the timetable!)

Tbh, when I'm travelling into Liverpool, I often don't catch the 7 anyway.
E.g. today I was waiting for the 7, but it looked like it wasn't showing up, so rather than wait another 30 mins in the rain, I got on the 110 which came along instead (at which point the 7 promptly arrived of course), with the intention of transferring onto the X1 at Runcorn.
(As it happens, that didn't show up either -- I actually ended up getting the 79C, which was then diverted, meaning that so overall it took about 3hrs to get into Liverpool).
