People might think I bang on about public transport - and specifically Merseyrail - a lot, and they would be right, writes Liam Thorp.
I'm really interested in public transport and passionate about how we can improve services to encourage more people to leave their cars at home and hop on a bus, train or even a ferry when going about their business. That's my reasoning anyway, others (my wife included) may suggest I'm just turning into a boring old bloke with an obsession - also highly possible.
I am a regular Merseyrail user and have been for years, and because of this the operator gets a lot of my journalistic attention. I have said many times before that despite its faults, I have generally regarded the service as reliable and solid in the years I have used it. But that cannot be said at the moment.
