and Metro Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram are calling on the Government to provide TPE and Northern with more funding, so they can address staffing issues and improve services.
A TPE spokesman said: “Prolonged disruption affecting our services has been caused by a range of issues including ongoing high levels of train crew sickness, a persisting training backlog as a direct result of Covid, and infrastructure issues outside of TPE’s control. “Our customers want, and deserve, reliable and punctual train services, and we are sorry have not been able to consistently provide that due to the ongoing issues.”
