Merseyrail has apologised for the shutdown of its network this morning amid snowy conditions.
There were no trains running on any line of the network during the morning rush hour, with no replacement buses available either. It meant thousands of people around the region either had to find alternative ways to get to work or had to work from home.
Merseyrail has said sorry for the problems, which stem from how the network is powered and how this power source is affected by snow, ice and freezing temperatures. Services are now starting to resume on some lines.
