Severe disruption to Wirral line rail services after Hamilton Square station flood
WIRRAL line train services suffered severe disruption after flooding caused platform three of Hamilton Square Station to be closed for a short time on Sunday.
Services on the West Kirby and New Brighton lines were disrupted with trains terminating at Birkenhead North, where a replacement bus service was in operation.
Network Rail Engineers were on site by 2pm but disruption continued until 4.30pm.
Merseyrail said the flood was caused by a faulty water pump on platform three.
Chester and Ellesmere Port services were unaffected.
