Merseyrail passengers have been hit with more travel disruption after a signal issue and fire today.
Passengers travelling on a number of lines across the network have been facing timetable changes from this week onwards. The change came an increase in wheel bearing faults led to services being cancelled on the Kirkby and New Brighton lines. A rail replacement bus was in place last week for the lines before trains resumed this morning.
However usual services are still not back on track. Trains are now running every 30 minutes on the Ormskirk, Kirkby, Hunts Cross, New Brighton, West Kirby, Chester and Ellesmere Port lines, due to the train fault.
