Southport commuters face four days of rail replacement busses next month as Merseyrail look to finally bring in their new look super trains.
There will be four days of constant distribution to the Northern line network next month linked to the introduction of its new train fleet – almost three years after the first delivery of the new £460m rolling stock.
Liverpool Central station will be closed to Northern line passengers and there will be no services on the Hunts Cross line for four days in November, to allow for essential works to take place.
The Hunts Cross line will not operate properly between 22:00 on Sunday, November 6, until the end of service on Wednesday November 9.
A rail replacement bus service will be in operation between Moorfields station and Hunts Cross station.
The bus service will not call at Liverpool Central station.
Affecting the Southport and Ormskirk line, Merseyrail say that from 22:00 on Sunday, November 6, until 20:00 on Wednesday, November 9, Southport and Ormskirk line services will operate every 20 minutes and start/terminate at Moorfields station.
After 20:00 services will operate every 30 minutes.
It’s expected normal service will resume from Thursday November 10th
