The 1534 to Helsby waits for the semaphore starting signal to be pulled off at Ellesmere Port. In contrast with the half hourly service to Liverpool, the line from here to Helsby gets only a handful of passenger trains (currently four per day each way Monday to Saturday), which exist primarily to transport workers to and from Stanlow oil refinery.
