Four-Week Merseyrail Shutdown Planned

Network Rail has announced that the Hunts Cross line on the Merseyrail Northern Line will be completely shut down for four weeks. The closure will run from Sunday, 11 October to Saturday, 7 November. The disruption is required to complete a 3.5 million pound engineering project to strengthen and waterproof four separate rail tunnels, preventing water from damaging the electrified track system. Rail replacement buses will run between Hunts Cross and Moorfields.
