Merseyrail's new fleet of trains continues to be hit by faults, problems and subsequent delays with the operator blaming a 'varied' number of issues.
The long-awaited roll-out of the new fleet of Class 777 Merseyrail trains finally got underway at the end of January after years of delays and setbacks.
The Kirkby line was the first to see the introduction of the new trains. The roll-out was said to be completed on that line at the beginning of March, with attention then turning to the Ormskirk route.
