When Hamilton Square gets done there will have to be a replacement bus service running in a circle between Hamilton Sq - Conway Pk - Birkenhead Ctl and Hamilton Sq.

I've heard Hamilton square is refurbishment work is starting in October, if not October it will definitely be before the years out. Don't know how well this will go down around the Christmas period but I am sure we will soon see.

Both stations (Ham Sq / Moorfields) are getting refurbed next year. No dates as yet as the meeting to decide the dates has not yet taken place.

Had heard that moorfields will have to be done probably in stages due to the size of the station . If that is the case Moorfields will probably lose its interchange status for a short while .

One of the Chester six cars was a three car to provide units for the Southport line .

Not all planned six cars for the Southport Line (Flower Show Diagrams ) operated today also , there was some six car workings though so it wasnt all doom and gloom.

RE: Merseyrail
Pretty poor service on the Southport line today, with a fair few of the formations 3 car. Not helpful on one of the busiest occasions of the year, with the sun belting down during the earlier part of the day. Decided to use the Stagecoach X2 to get to and from Southport instead of a rammed 507018. Was glad I did.

Was a traveller on the 23.01 West Kirby to Liverpool Central this evening on the notorious A level results night. 507002 did the honors (with a door out on the centre carriage.) The poor unit got torn apart by the wreckless thugs. Celling panels broken aand pulled down, newspapers, shards of glass, alcohol scattered over the seats and floors, seats and seat covers trashed! And I doubt many of them had tickets. The guard did a great job in dispatching the train safely and was assisted by an off duty guard from Kirkdale who stood further up the train and gave the thumbs up. I feel on these dutys with a vast number of drunken people, a second member of train crew should be used to assist the guard on duty with pre-planned events like this
