There is a Youth Hostel in Liverpool, not far from Lime St here : http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/liverpool

Yes but Platforms 7, 8 & 9 at Lime Street are for VT & LM trains only. Platforms 1-6 are for for all other TOC`s.

About 20 years ago my family booked a weekend away at the Beamish Open Air Musuem in Co Durham, with us staying in a hotel in Gateshead ( I think !). Family are from Liverpool but I was working for the Civil Service in London (still do work for them but now in Liverpool). As part of the...

Ah thats a shame you cant make it, it would have been nice to meet up. To show you how old I am, its 29 years since I sat my O Levels and 27 years since I sat my A Levels !

I thought it was the 29th of Oct?

I deal with complaints at work and if the letter is well structured, makes sense AND gets to the point quickly - they are the ones who get dealt with in a more positive way. (I work for a Gov Dept that generates LOTS of complaints). If I got that letter from you , the reaction wouldnt be...

I got the 5.53 Southport to Moorfields this morning with no problems at all :)

According to the BBC Travel site, there is no service between Rock Ferry & Chester. http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/merseyrail

Thank you gentlemen for your answers !. I was asking as it is so unusual to see anything different from 507/508`s and those bus on tracks @ Southport.

Could it be because Meols Cop is on the Southport -Mcr route and served by a different train company (Northern Rail (I think)) to Merseyrail ?. Because Southport to Bidston is all on Merseyrail.

I commute from Southport to Moorfields, on Merseyrail 4 days a week. Every morning I have to play the game of "which platform will the train leave ?", there are only 3 platforms (1,2 or 3) and I look on the board and it says , for example, 3 so I go to Platform 3 only to be told it isnt...
