Congratulations to Northern and all the partners involved in the transformation of Lea Green Station, which has been named Station of the Year at the Spotlight Rail North Awards.

Funded through Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's Transforming Cities Fund, the project shows what can be achieved when organisations work together to improve journeys for passengers and create stations that communities can be proud of.

It's fantastic to see the project recognised in this way. Well done to everyone who played a part in bringing it to life. 👏

Storm Boelo didn’t stop us this morning! 💨

We were up bright and early to catch the first bus from West Kirby station to Arrowe Park Hospital - a brand-new service that will make a real difference for so many passengers.

🚌 Here we go again!

The 483 bus service from West Kirby to Arrowe Park has just departed the depot, marking the start of a new era for buses in Wirral. From today, Wirral’s bus network is back under public control, putting passengers at the heart of the network.

Tonight, millions of viewers will watch the Pride of Britain Awards celebrate extraordinary people making a difference in their communities.

One of those community champions is John, a Merseylink customer from the Liverpool City Region who was recently named among the top three finalists from more than 500 nominations for a North West regional Pride of Britain fundraising award.

Over the years, John has raised around £20,000 for charitable causes, volunteered as a disability football coach and inspired others through his determination and commitment to helping people.

John credits Merseylink with helping him stay active in his community and continue volunteering. He wanted to recognise the people behind the journeys that make that possible:

"Thank you to Danny and all the other drivers and LCRCA office staff for providing a safe, reliable, friendly service that has enabled me to get out to play and coach wheelchair football with The Liverpool Foundation."

Accessible transport can be life changing, helping people stay active, connected and able to give back to their communities. It's why services like Merseylink have supported residents across the Liverpool City Region for more than 40 years.

Join us in congratulating John on this incredible achievement.
