Travel operator, Merseyrail, has issued a warning to users ahead of the second storm to hit the city this week.

Storm Dennis is due to arrive on Saturday bringing very high winds and torrential rain with it.

Passengers on all lines are advised to check our website for the most up-to-date information before travelling over the weekend, or contact our customer services team via Twitter @Merseyrail or WhatsApp on 0151 555 1111 for service updates.

Zoe Hands, Operations Director at Merseyrail, said: “We apologise to any customers whose travel plans may be affected by Storm Dennis. We are working to ensure the network is as safe for travel as possible.

“I would urge all passengers to leave plenty of time for their journey and to check our website for the latest information before they travel.”
