Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram hopes to increase Merseyrail's capacity for Everton fans.

The victim was left "permanently disfigured" by the attack on a service between Liverpool and Ormskirk.

Transport bosses said the event went "smoothly" but some fans reported issues ahead of the event.

Cleaners are set to walk out for 48-hours next month after rejecting a pay offer.

Mick Lynch said re-privatising the service would be a "betrayal of passengers".

Alex Rigby ran 109 miles in 28 hours to raise money for a Liverpool-based domestic abuse charity.

Services on Merseyrail came to a standstill on 9 January after ice stopped trains from working.

Steve Rotheram has ordered a review to examine the failures leading to disruption to rail services.
