Around five or six years. Five bidders have been shortlisted to build a replacement fleet of around 50 units and the winning bid is expected to be announced later on this year

Services on the Hunts Cross-Southport and Liverpool-Ormskirk lines were disrupted for a time yesterday evening due to a bicycle abandoned on the line presumably it must have been around the Sandhills area for it to affect both lines?

Depends,a blanket isolation can affect a large area

It was at Liverpool Central,a passenger attempted to steal a bike off another passenger and in the ensuing struggle the bike ended up on the track

No injuries have been reported so hopefully theres only minor cuts and bruises if there are any

Disruption on the Northern line last night due to a signaling problem between Ormskirk and Kirkby. Saw a Pulsar leaving Maghull station on rail replacement as services were suspended on both the Ormskirk and Kirkby lines for a time. Wonder if it was heat related?

Considering the present set up uses 57 out 59 possible available units , im interested now to see what 50 units does especially at Aintree time .

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see how many units are ordered - I don't think 50 (even if they were all four car units) will be enough personally
