Whats the betting uber are surge charging this morning !!!!!!


No trains will run in or out of Liverpool Lime Street station "for several days" after a wall collapsed on to the railway.
A section of trackside wall "loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party" fell, blocking all four lines into the station, Network Rail said.
The collapse has strewn rubble across the tracks and also damaged overhead wires.
Passengers are urged to seek alternative routes.
A Network Rail spokesman said: "Early indications suggest train services will not resume for several days while extensive clear up and repairs take place to make the location safe."
More precise forecasts on how long the repairs will take will be made later, he added.

I hope they are well insured that could be £100 million plus in compensation for the disruption !!! :roll:

I am not sure that the compensation system will work how you think. They will probably put a replacement bus service on.

Network rail will attempt to recover all the costs including the penalty charge they must pay the toc
