Over on the MerseyTarts blog, he’s not happy at some of the reaction from those “on the Peninsula side”. I agree with most of what he says. The railway does need to be maintained, and this will inevitably cause some inconvenience, to some people, some of the time.
My problem with the current situation is that the people of The Wirral get the inconvenience, and Merseyrail get the compensation. Again. I fully appreciate that the works need to be carried out, but it seems at best unfair that we passengers are expected to pay the same amount for a ticket when we aren’t getting the same level of service.
And I still haven’t heard back from the regulator yet. By the time I do, it’ll likely be too late.

On an unrelated note, Merseytravel have landed £3m of someone else’s money to make sure that they can afford to move into their shiny new offices …. read here. I’m surprised they didn’t just stick another 20p onto the price of the road tunnel toll and let us pay for it instead.
