Merseyrail Service Disruptions: What You Need to Know
Today, several train lines are experiencing disruptions causing delays for passengers across the Merseyrail network. Here is a breakdown of the current issues affecting different lines:
Ellesmere Port Line:
A signalling problem at Hooton is impacting train services to Ellesmere Port, with trains now starting and finishing their journey at Hooton station. To help passengers complete their journey, a limited rail replacement bus service is available between Ellesmere Port and Hooton.
Southport Line:
A broken down train between Ainsdale and Freshfield has led to the suspension of train services to Liverpool Central. In the meantime, a rail replacement bus service is operating between Southport and Sandhills to assist affected passengers.
Hunts Cross/Ormskirk Line:
A train fault at Old Roan is causing disruptions on the Hunts Cross and Ormskirk lines. Trains to Hunts Cross may be terminating and starting at Aintree, while services to Ormskirk could be suspended. To support passengers, a limited rail replacement bus service is running between Ormskirk and Moorfields.
Headbolt Lane via Kirkby Line:
Due to adverse weather conditions, services between Headbolt Lane and Liverpool Central are at risk of being cancelled or altered. Merseyrail has requested a rail replacement bus to help commuters navigate this route.
While these disruptions are causing inconvenience for passengers, Merseyrail is working diligently to resolve the issues and restore normal services as quickly as possible. In the meantime, passengers are advised to check for live updates on the Merseyrail website or social media channels for the latest information on their journey.
