Important travel information - Wirral line closure

Related Topics: Wirral Peninsula, Merseyrail

This is due to the Wirral loop line track renewal taking place from Tuesday January 3 to Sunday June 18. Services on the Northern Line will not be impacted.

Fans should be aware that alternative services will be busier than normal during this period and should allow extra time when travelling to Anfield.

Merseyrail will ensure that there is extra capacity on the rail replacement buses for fans travelling from Birkenhead North and Birkenhead Central to Anfield, strengthening services on matchdays to accommodate the extra demand.

Fans should allow plenty of time to get their onward connection either to the Soccerbus via the rail link to Sandhills or the 917 bus service from St John’s Lane opposite Lime Street Station.
