No trains will run to or from Liverpool Lime Street station for several days after a wall collapsed on a section of railway.

Train users in Liverpool are facing major disruption to services after a wall loaded with concrete and cabins collapsed, sending rubble across all four railway lines and damaging overhead wires between Lime Street and Edge Hill, Network Rail said.

Passengers were advised to check alternative routes at nationalrail.co.uk before travelling.



“An extensive clear-up needs to take place to make the location safe before repairs to the overhead wires can be undertaken,” National Rail Enquiries said.

“Reports from Network Rail indicate that the line may not reopen until Monday 6 March.”
