Merseyrail Deep Weather diggingdeeper 9th Jan 2025 5:15pm Apparently the Wirral Line was shut down today because ......

"Due to poor weather conditions at Hamilton Square, all Wirral line services are currently suspended due to poor weather conditions"

I would love to know how the weather affects trains in a 90ft deep level station?

Eleanor Road Bidston (Bishops House) RobThomas 18th Nov 2024 7:45am Hello Everyone,

First post here, I am looking for any information or photographs on a property that was on Eleanor Road Bidston until around 2001.

It was I believe called Bishops House and was owned by the Diocese of Shrewsbury.

They demolished it and built new houses in its place.

Many thanks to anyone who has any information.

Croxteth and Spring Streets Croxtethroberts 16th Nov 2024 9:54am Hello from NZ!
My fathers family lived in Croxteth and Spring Street back in the early 20th century. (Roberts and Thompson). I would love some help in finding any old photos of either of those streets. And map locations too. My Dad worked at Cammell Laird as did his father, and that included on the Arc Royale. Some other family members worked at Sunlight.

Flooding at...yes you guessed it. Excoriator 30th Sep 2024 3:33pm Once again Merseyrail grinds to a halt because it's raining. One again the perennial excuse of "flooding at Hooton" is trotted out as if this is something sent by teh almighty that must be borne without complaint.

As flooding is so common there, surely its high time something was done about it.Technology IS available to do this in the form of drains and flood alleviation schemes. Yes of course it will involve money, but so do these rail disruptions that seem to go on year in year out. If water covers the track then for heaven's sake elevate the bloody track or provide proper drainage.

I am sick of being decanted onto an overcrowded bus and having to stand because it rains and nobody can be arsed todo anything about it.

Be careful at the GO filling station Excoriator 27th Sep 2024 12:07pm This is the lowest cost filling station in the area on the A41 near Lairds, but be careful about which nozzle you pick up to fill your car.

It is natural to assume the cheapest is the end one, but it isn't. That is the 'Super' unleaded which costs a bit more than their advertised price. I suspect a lot of people get caught out this way. The cheapest plain unleaded was the second from the end when I last went there. Just look at the prices.

Clearly there is nothing illegal about this. Both are clearly marked, but I think its a bit south of good business practices.

Just be careful.

Wirral 20mph. granny 10th Sep 2024 10:07am Although I can see the reasoning, particularly in shopping and school areas, the congestion is going to be paramount. It seems madness.
As we know , many travel and work in Liverpool, and I can't imagine what the hold up at the tunnels will be in a morning.

Buses will have to have their timetables changed, mums and dads travelling by bus will have to leave earlier in a morning, thus impacting on their children being dropped off earlier at school. Meeting the children after school time, will mean have to leave work that bit earlier, which will impact on hours of work and pay for those who need it more than most, and companies that rely on working hourse being fulfilled.
Trucks will be rolling backwards near enough when on inclines, more petrol will be used by sitting in queues and more pollution emitted from standing vehicles.
Why oh why meddle, when things work well ? It didn't work in Wales, did it ?
