Rail passengers face days of disruption after a trackside wall collapsed at Lime Street station.
The damage occurred on the route between the station and Edge Hill on Tuesday evening, blocking all four train lines into Liverpool city centre.
Dozens of people were left stranded by the incident and thousands more encountering further upheaval as all trains were cancelled the following day.
Network Rail have warned commuters that the extensive clear-up is likely to prevent trains operating to and from Lime Street until Monday, March 5.
“No trains are running in or out of Liverpool Lime Street station after a section of trackside wall, loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party, collapsed sending rubble across all four lines and taking overhead wires with it,” said a Network Rail spokesperson.
“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 after daybreak.”
Buses will be running between the station and Liverpool South Parkway as well as to Runcorn for travellers heading to London.
