Customers wishing to travel beyond Sandhills on the Kirkby line should change at Sandhills for all destinations.
Please also allow extra time for your journey if you are travelling on the Southport/Hunts Cross or Ormskirk line tomorrow as there are likely to be minor residual delays on all Northern lines.
