Merseyrail Closure Hits Commuters Hard | Liverpool News
Description
Big trouble ahead for Merseyrail commuters: starting October 11, the Northern Line between Liverpool Central and Hunts Cross will shut down for four weeks as Network Rail tackles critical tunnel repairs costing nearly $4 million. No trains? Nope — buses will replace them, even heading to Moorfields instead of Liverpool Central, with Sundays stretching the closure all the way to Sandhills. Residents in Cressington are especially hit, since their platform can’t handle newer trains — a problem that caused major service cuts during The Open. Officials blame the disruption on unavoidable safety work, but local leaders argue it should’ve been phased to ease the pain. For now, expect more delays, fewer options, and another frustrating chapter in Merseyrail’s ongoing reliability struggles.
