Rail passengers in Liverpool are "stressed" by widespread cancellations and delays.
The number of cancelled passenger train services is at its highest level ever recorded in Great Britain, with more than 314,000 trains fully or partly cancelled in the year to October, The Guardian reports. Roughly one in 26 rail journeys - or 860 a day - were disrupted nationwide, double the level in 2015.
According to data from from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), this rises to one in 13 for services operated by Avanti West Coast, which runs services between Liverpool Lime Street and London Euston - the highest level of any operator. Most of those cancellations were because of problems under Avanti's remit, as opposed to infrastructure issues under the remit of Network Rail.
