Ferry services on the River Mersey are set to resume after all boat trips were suddenly suspended. Services were cancelled this morning, July 8, due to a “technical fault”.
In a statement on its social media pages, it said the “team are working hard to return to normal service”, adding: “Merseyrail are accepting commuter tickets. Replacement buses will be operating between Hamilton Square and Seacombe.”
Services were also cancelled on Monday just before 4pm, with a replacement bus service operating between Seacombe and Hamilton Square during commuter times.
The Mersey Ferries team, part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, have now confirmed services will be up and running as usual tomorrow, July 9.
