Merseyrail has cancelled trains for a third day running as cold weather continues across Merseyside.
The travel provider will continue implementing its cold weather mitigation plan for a third day despite no weather warning being in place. Merseyrail has said although temperatures are starting to pick up, mitigation plans will be in place overnight tonight and in the morning (Thursday, January 18) meaning the first services of the day on each line will run without passengers.
Merseyrail network tracks will be treated overnight to protect them from ice build-up, while station staff will ensure that platforms and car parks are well gritted. However, despite the same plans being in place on Wednesday morning, there was major disruption on two lines.
