Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 25 Oct, 10:44 · Archive

All Merseyrail lines are disrupted as Storm Boleo brings heavy winds and rain to the north west. A yellow weather warning is in place until 9pm. According to Liverpool Echo, fallen trees are blocking railway lines at multiple locations: one at Bebington on the Chester and Ellesmere Port line, and another at Hoylake causing suspension of all services between Birkenhead North and West Kirby.

Merseyrail has warned that trains may be changed or cancelled on the New Brighton, Southport and Ormskirk lines due to poor weather conditions. Additionally, signalling problems at Fazakerley have disrupted the Headbolt Lane line with cancellations between Headbolt Lane and Rice Lane. Rail replacement bus services are in operation on multiple routes, and passengers can use their train tickets at no extra cost on Stagecoach bus services 20 and 21.
