Throughout January and February there will be weekend engineering works taking place at various locations across the network resulting in rail replacement buses operating.




Due to roadworks in Liverpool City Centre as part of Liverpool City Council’s Connectivity Scheme, rail replacement buses will no longer stop at Liverpool Central or Liverpool Lime Street. They will be stopping at Moorfields and James Street only (depending on which services are affected) to minimise disruption to Merseyrail services.

Full details of these engineering works can be found below, latest timetable information will be available via our journey planner nearer the time.
