The earlier faulty train at Edge Hill has now been moved, allowing the line at this station for services from Liverpool Lime Street travelling towards Preston / Manchester stations to reopen.

As service recovers, trains may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.

This issue is expected to continue to impact services until 09:30.
