WALL COLLAPSE MEANS LIME STREET COULD BE SHUT FOR DAYS
Live updates as all train services to and from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester, Warrington, Wigan and London Euston are currently suspended.
Customers are advised not to plan train travel on Northern routes in and out of Liverpool although a limited number of services linked to replacement bus services are available. This is due a significant rubble fall onto the track, which is expected to impact services for several days.
The latest update from Network Rail is as follows:
“No trains are running in or out of Liverpool Lime Street station after a section of trackside wall, loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party, collapsed sending rubble across all four lines and taking overhead wires with it.
“Early indications suggest train services will not resume for several days while extensive clear-up and repairs take place to make the location safe. More precise forecasts on how long the repairs will take will be made after daybreak.”
The advice is quite stark from Northern Rail - do not travel “in the Liverpool or Merseyside region”.
