This is NOT the official MerseyRail website!

… are not to be relied upon. Not if last night was anything to go by.

There was chaos on the Northern Line, and the Wirral line trains were running ten to fifteen minutes late, all of this during the evening peak period, and there wasn’t a Tweet to be heard.
