Frustrated Merseyrail passengers were faced with reduced timetables, packed trains and replacement buses today as they made their way to work.
The under-pressure operator has been hit with a barrage of complaints and questions from understandably annoyed customers as its reduced timetable got underway this morning. It was announced last week that train trips would decrease and run every 30 minutes on the Ormskirk, Kirkby, Hunts Cross, New Brighton, West Kirby, Chester and Ellesmere Port lines.
This news came after major disruption on the Kirkby and New Brighton trains last week, where services were replaced by buses. Those services have resumed this week.
