It's been another week of delays and reduced timetables on Merseyrail and people are becoming increasingly frustrated by the continued disruption to rail services around the Liverpool city region.
Many are asking where the blame lies and who is responsible for proposing and implementing lasting solutions.
Regular users of the network will need absolutely no reminding of the fact that Merseyrail only returned to its standard 15-minute timetable in late April after years of admittedly understandable pandemic-affected disruption. To be moving back to a half an hour timetable on so many key lines just weeks later is a bitter disappointment.
During a meeting of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram said he totally understood the frustration of commuters and they "quite rightly" felt the inconvenience of not being able to get trains.
He has met with Merseyrail chiefs and “expressed concerns in the strongest possible terms", adding "we can only all apologise" and vowed to "burn the midnight oil" to get the new £500m fleet online.
But as the wait continues for the delivery of new trains and the current services continuing to suffer problems, Merseyrail customers are justifiably looking for more answers and will be looking to ascertain who is responsible for the current disruption and who has a plan to find the necessary solution.
We would like to hear from our readers and find out who they think is to blame for the problems with Merseyrail services?
