Episode Details

Merseyrail riders in Liverpool brace for major disruption: the Northern Line between Liverpool Central and Hunts Cross will be shut down from October 11 to November 6—nearly four weeks—for critical $35 million waterproofing work on four key tunnels. This vital upgrade prevents water damage to the electrified third rail, avoiding costly power failures and service chaos. New remote switches will also speed up repairs and reduce unplanned closures. Buses will replace trains Monday–Saturday between Hunts Cross and Liverpool Central, with Sunday services extending north to Sandhills. Amended train services will run between Liverpool Central and Southport/Ormskirk/Headbolt Lane (and Sandhills on Sundays). While inconvenient, this planned closure aims to future-proof one of the UK’s busiest stations and freight corridors—keeping the system reliable long-term.
