Liverpool Central station closure cancelled as engineering works off

A three-day closure of Liverpool Central station has been cancelled.

The station was due to be closed from Sunday, November 6 to Wednesday, November 9, for work to prepare for Merseyrail to launch their new fleet of trains. However the planned engineering works have been postponed due to the three 24-hour national strikes recently announced by the RMT union.

The closure was to allow essential adjustments to be carried out on the tracks and lineside equipment to ensure the new trains, in an eight-car formation, will be able to serve the station. A future date for when the work will be carried out is yet to be announced.
