Wall collapse causes chaos for Liverpool commuters

Chaos on the trains looms for Liverpool communters after a trackside wall near Lime Street station collapsed blocking all four lines and damaging overhead wiring equipment last night (Tuesday, February 28).

A spokesperson for Network Rail said: “No trains are running in or out of Liverpool Lime Street station after a section of trackside wall, loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party, collapsed sending rubble across all four lines and taking overhead wires with it.

“Early indications suggest train services will not resume for several days while extensive clear-up and repairs take place to make the location safe. More precise forecasts on how long the repairs will take will be made after daybreak tomorrow.”
