Bus damaged after hitting level crossing

A bus was damaged after hitting a level crossing at a train station.

Merseyrail services on the Northern Line were temporarily stopped after a vehicle crashed into the level crossing at Birkdale Train Station. The vehicle, believed to be a stagecoach bus, crashed into the barrier on Weld Road at around 9pm on Tuesday, July 26.

Pictures from the scene show one of the barriers snapped on the road next to the level crossing. The bus stopped at the scene and has some small damage to the roof, close to the back end of the vehicle.
