Vandalism near Huyton tonight

[strange6]

I see services are disrupted tonight (Sat 9th April) between Liverpool Lime Street and Huyton due to vandalism near Wavertree technology park. I must say that I'm not surprised by this because I have seen quite a number of youths near Olive Mount over the past couple of weeks on my travels to Liverpool. Twice the driver had to slow right down and blast the horn because they were so close to the line. I think this could be a little hotspot if the BTP don't crack down on it (setting the dogs on them would be a start)

Merseyrail has been quite badly affected the last couple of days due to vandalism on the Southport line mainly around Seaforth/Bootle/Bank Hall. Ranging from trespass, throwing metal bars on the track, (shorting the DC current), throwing at trains etc...

The local kids aren't in school at the moment for Easter Hols... correlation there no doubt!

You were told wrong then - unless you are talking about Merseyrail in addition to what has already been mentioned

Easter holidays usually brings a start to all this

This is one of these oft repeated mantras that I do wonder if there IS a correlation- there MUST be statistics out there. I'm a little doubtful, at least, as to whether the proximity of the holidays makes a jot of difference at the weekend
