Sixty tonnes cleared at Liverpool Lime Street station wall collapse site

Sixty tonnes of soil and five large containers of debris have been cleared from a train station where a wall collapsed on to the railway tracks.

Part of a trackside wall "loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party" fell, blocking all four lines into Liverpool Lime Street on Tuesday.

Network Rail said there will be no trains "for several days" as it makes the site safe and repairs the damage.

An investigation into the cause of the 200 tonne landslip is under way.
