No chance of a 142 showing up, not cleared for Halton Curve.

Are you sure class 156 are cleared? It's been a Class 150 since Northern took over the franchise.

I've been told it's a single 150.

2 x Class 156 (or even 150s) could not be accommodated at Stanlow or Ince & Elton or on Platform 3 at Helsby.

ATW were initially going to provide stock, and a 158 was suggested, until it was pointed out that it's not cleared for the route.
