Major disruption on the Wirral line this morning due to a problem under investigation services running between Chester/Ellesmere port and Birkenhead central only and between New Brighton/West Kirby and Birkenhead north only these services are subject to delay and cancellation. No service at all between Birkenhead and Liverpool passengers are advised to make their own travel arrangments to get to Liverpool from Birkenhead this was annouced over the tannoy when i was waiting for my train at Maghull before.
Major disruption due to ice on the conductor rails all around the Merseyrail network this morning .

Two of the units in the above 18 car formation were 507001 and 508143, used on today's Branch Line Society 'Merseyrail 750 V Tracker' railtour.
How much of what was supposed to be operated on that Merseyrail 750V Tracker tour actually took place ?

It probably amounted to one of the worst days Merseyrail has had since the great cold winter of 2009/10
is that the longest train formed on the network with individual units?
im not sure that all the units could have been taking power at the same time as it would have take too much power out of the third rail and blown fuses in the substations , highly likely that at least 3 maybe four could have been taking power .
Well what it says about rail replacement buses being refused is a lie. Laird Street had some Volvo hybrids out doing Rail Replacements this morning and there was a green sign outside Chester station telling people to wait for the Merseyrail rail replacement bus.
