Snowfall has led to significant disruptions in Merseyrail services and travel chaos across the region
Southport: The snow is really causing a mess for everyone trying to travel. Train services are delayed or canceled, and it’s not just trains—roads and flights are affected too.
People are dealing with a lot of hassle. A tree fell on the tracks, which is just adding to the chaos. Merseyrail has warned that things might not get better anytime soon.
Right now, Merseyside is under a yellow weather warning. The Met Office says we could see icy patches and more snow showers throughout the day. They’re predicting some areas might get a few centimeters of snow.
For those relying on the Chester line, there’s a rail replacement bus service running due to flooding. It’s a bit of a hassle, but at least there’s an option to get around.
On the Ellesmere Port line, things are slowly returning to normal, but some trains are still getting canceled. If you’re heading that way, keep an eye on the schedule.
As for the West Kirby, New Brighton, and Southport lines, they’re still running on time, which is a relief for those commuters.
But if you’re on the Ormskirk line, be prepared for delays. Services are being turned back at Maghull due to the weather. And on the Hunts Cross line, a fallen tree has caused a suspension of services, so a bus is being set up to help out.
It’s a tough day for travel, so if you can, maybe just stay put and wait for things to clear up a bit.
