Southport and Ormskirk timetable change

Timetable changes are being made to the Ormskirk, Southport and Hunts Cross lines to assist with the phased roll-out of the ground-breaking new Class 777 fleet of trains.

From Monday 6 March, there will be minor changes to support driver training. These changes are until further notice.

These changes are as follows;

Ormskirk line: On Monday-Friday, three trains from Ormskirk to Liverpool Central will be cancelled (09:34, 11:04, 15:04). Two trains from Liverpool Central to Ormskirk will be cancelled (10:16 and 14:16). The 11:46 and 15:46 trains from Liverpool Central to Ormskirk will start at Walton.
