Toilets closedTimetable: I left Liverpool at 7am and arrived at 8am. There was a very slight delay. The train/train number was N or so. The comfort was ok. The journey took an hour. The toilets were locked and the hygiene was mediocre. The price was also a bit high for the short journey. The service on the other hand was excellent. You didn't have to change trains and with wifi the journey went by in a flash.
