💨 Abstract

On Monday, a Merseyrail train lost power in a tunnel between St Michael’s and Hunts Cross, leaving passengers stranded in darkness for two hours. The incident caused multiple cancellations and delays. Passengers reported feeling hot and needing water and food. Merseyrail later announced services were returning but with delays. This incident follows a similar Eurostar delay where passengers were stuck for nine hours due to a power loss.
