A tree has fallen onto the train tracks in Wirral, causing rush hour travel disruption.
Merseytravel services from Hoylake have been cancelled due to the obstruction on the tracks. As a result, a rail replacement bus service has now been put in operation.
The bus will take passengers between West Kirby and Hoylake in both directions until the tree can be removed from the tracks. It is not yet known how the tree fell onto the tracks, however strong winds have been reported across Merseyside this morning.
