A blocked Merseyrail line is causing rush-hour cancellations and delays in Wirral.
The travel provider first reported issues on the New Brighton and West Kirby lines at 2.38pm on Monday, July 4, following an "obstruction on the track". A number of services in both directions were cancelled following the initial discovery of the "object" on the line.
Merseyrail then started terminating and starting trains at Birkenhead Park due to the incident, causing travel chaos for commuters. Merseyrail tweeted one of its customers saying a rail replacement bus service was not being provided as it expected the line to reopen soon.
