BMW Joe BMW Joe Wiki Guardian Registered: 30th Apr 2006 Posts: 8900 Loc: Birkenhead	Not happy - Just taken me over 2 hours to get home from Liverpool cas there was a "train failure" between Hamilton Square and James Street. So all trains from Birkenhead North and Birkenhead Central to Liverpool Central and vice versa were cancelled. There was no replacement bus service and all the regular buse services were completely packed anyway. Fuckin Joke our public transport system _________________________

BMW Joe BMW Joe Wiki Guardian Registered: 30th Apr 2006 Posts: 8900 Loc: Birkenhead	Managed to get a bus in the end, but still a joke. The only reason I get the train is to save on petrol. Pomp, they dont let pushbikes through the tunnel during peak hours mate lol and plus, I dont fancy riding 20 miles there and back. _________________________

Pinzgauer Pinzgauer Enthusiast Registered: 25th Oct 2007 Posts: 183 Loc: Twixt Wirral & Ayrshire	Does anyone have any details of what actually happened ? A total train failure is pretty rare. They can usually "limp" to the next station and de-train. If it happenend under the river, it might have been a good walk to JS or HS !! Anything in the local rags or radio ? Just interested from a technical point of view and wondering how they dealt with it/made a total cock-up of it ? _________________________ Who put the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowdah ??

Some passengers said they faced delays of up to two hours on the Wirral line, after the train broke down on a set of points close to James Street station at 5.12pm. This meant no trains could get in to or out of Wirral. Services from New Brighton and West Kirby stopped at Birkenhead North station, while those from Ellesmere Port and Chester could get no further than Birkenhead Central. An empty train was used to push the broken down train out of the way, enabling the line to be reopened at 5.51pm. However, the knock-on effects caused by the earlier delay meant that train services in to and out of Wirral did not fully return to normal until an hour later at 6.51pm. No bus replacement service was provided, however large queues of people formed on St George’s plateau in the hope of finding an alternative way of getting to Wirral. A Merseyrail spokesman said: "It couldn’t have happened at a worse time as it was right in the middle of the peak hour. "We decided not to put on a bus replacement service to Wirral both because it was in the peak and there were not that many buses available, and because we knew it would be dealt with quickly."
