Referring to the "Southern Route" between Liverpool and Manchester via Warrington Central & Birchwood &c. In other words, not the recently electrified line (the "Northern Route").
On this line the local, Northern Rail, trains ("The Rattlers") are really handy when travelling with the bicycle; there's no need to book and there is usually plenty of room in the bicycle bays (especially on the widely disliked "Sprinters").
Chatting to the guard on a service yesterday he said there were plans to introduce "better" four car trains on the line but those cars will not have as much bicycle accommodation and pre- booking will be required.
Does anyone have any facts? I can't find anything online.
