Yeah it reaches Maghull at the time a few local schools let out,generally full up from then on. |

RE: Merseyrail
Was on the 13:13 formed of 508143 (haven't seen this unit for ages!!) from Southport and got on at Hightown and alighted at Sandhills to catch the 13:55 Ormskirk service formed of 507015. Both were great units but 508143's service was packed with all ages having to stand up, plus this service was very slow and was 4 minutes late. But on the other hand 507015's journey was fantastic and nice. On the way back both 508117 and 508115's journeys back were also excellent. Seen MPV DR98902/52 on it's duty between Maghull and Town Green. |

Nope,there's a few spare turns& standby turns. More often than not all are used to cover annual leave,long term/short term sickness. You'd be amazed how few staff are around sometimes!! Outside of the core sections there may be space for extra services. However once in the underground sections sections slotting any extra services in only delays existing services. For example stand at Liverpool Central at peak times! |

RE: Merseyrail
There has been some delays to services on the Chester line today caused by operating restrictions imposed on Platform 7 and Exceptional Rail Head Conditions , delays of around 10 minutes being common place today. |
