    This route comprises of 2 different services, one being the Holyhead - Cardiff Central (which the TfW loco hauled sets work occasionally.) and the Borderlands line from Wrexham Central to Bidston, where it connects with Merseyrail's Wirral Line. It also passes over the North Wales Coast line at Shotton.[​IMG]
