TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Just north of the station, the former Liverpool Exchange railway station – once the grand terminus for trains to and from the North – has been transformed into an office and coworking space – definitely worth a look if you have time. For a quick bite, Fabiano on nearby Dale Street does exceptional Italian sandwiches – one of Liverpool's best-kept lunch secrets. Or head to the Eberle Pub or Dishoom for great food and drink, both excellent options close by. If you have a little longer, the Western Approaches Museum on Rumford Street is one of Liverpool's most remarkable hidden gems – the actual underground bunker from which the Battle of the Atlantic was commanded, preserved almost exactly as it was in 1945."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Chester: If you have an hour spare, follow the walls south towards the River Dee, cross into Handbridge and look for the tiny Roman shrine to Minerva in Edgar’s Field. It is carved straight into the sandstone and is easy to miss, but it’s one of Chester’s most unusual surviving Roman details. From there, you can loop back beside the river rather than retracing your steps."
