Due to strike action, a limited service will operate across Merseyrail on Monday 8th, Wednesday 10th

Unfortunately due to strike action by guard members of the RMT union, a reduced train service will run across the Merseyrail network on Monday 8, Wednesday 10 and Friday 12 January 2018.

Trains will not be stopping at Freshfield, Hall Road, Bootle Oriel Road, Bank Hall or Sandhills on the Southport line. There will not be any trains at all for 3 hours around midday.

There will be no trains running on the Kirkby, Ellesmere Port or Hunts Cross lines during the strike action.

Most services will run between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00. However, there will be a break in service during the middle of the day.

Some stations will be closed.

Please Note: Arriva Buses have agreed to accept Merseyrail tickets on all 3 strike days for bus journeys covering Merseyrail’s Northern and Wirral lines. To prevent overcrowding on buses, Merseyrail tickets will not be accepted between 07:00 - 09:00 and 16:00 – 18:00.

Valid cross river rail tickets will also be valid on Mersey Ferries.
