Prior to these works, the voltage varied presumably depending how far away from the substations it was. I think these upgrades were to stabilise the voltage across the network, but maybe others could confirm that or not.
The 777s are more computer based and have safety systems which will prevent a lot of the problems we have currently

They made a point of highlighting to passengers when the Chester trains reduced to 3 car, that the route between Hooton and Liverpool would still maintain some 6 cars (by running the Ellesmere Port trains as 6 cars).
Although, I guess with the New Brighton they can quite easily reduce to 3 car for the evening-not as easy doing this if 6 cars continued to run on the Ellesmere Port line?

I was wondering if anybody knows anything about possible vandalism on the wirral line today.

Apparently there were lots of passengers asking staff what was going on as services were being delayed.

Also, Is there any news on the next delivery of 777s.
