A points failure between Liverpool Lime Street and Runcorn means that some lines are currently closed.

As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.

This is expected until 09:00.

Avanti West Coast customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, your ticket is valid on one of the two Avanti West Coast services immediately before your booked train, or one of the two immediately after.

London Northwestern Railway customer advice:

Most services will be revised to terminate at / start back from Liverpool South Parkway.

Rail replacement transport will operate between Liverpool Lime Street and Liverpool South Parkway for customers to join services there.

Check before you travel:

You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

For helpful advice if you need to travel on a rail replacement service, including accessibility and bicycle information, please use our Rail Replacement Services page.

You can find the pick-up and set-down location of rail replacement services by checking station signage or by searching for your station on our Find a Station page.

Please be advised that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
