Government consultation into Manchester area services

RE: Government consultation into Manchester area services
Over 70% of those expressing a preference for an option stated they wanted option C, with a note that there was strong support for additional Mid-Cheshire and Huddersfield line services. However, option C had strong opposition from certain groups in Southport and Hull and it would take the longest to implement. Therefore the task force have decided to implement 'B+'. There is a robbing a path off Peter to pay Paul in this revised option in that the CLC Liverpool-Manchester line will lose an hourly stopping path in to Oxford Road in favour of the Southport line getting it.
