Chester the long way

There are two ways to get to Chester by rail from Liverpool. You can use Merseyrail and head under the river and then via Birkenhead and Hooton or you can catch a Transport for Wales service from Lime Street Station. The route is via Liverpool South Parkway and Runcorn. A pair of class 153 units waits to depart Lime Street for Chester with 153 318 at the rear.
