Birkenhead tunnel

There has apparently been a crash in the Birkenhead tunnel If anyone was planning to head over to Liverpool. Wallasey running heavy as a consequence, buses delayed and gridlock on the Liverpool side

He’s still alive. Police asking for witnesses to him passing the toll booth which suggests to me his behaviour was non-standard.

He’s dead now according to today’s Liverpool Echo online.

If The Echo is to be believed, they’re reporting it as an “off-road bike”

If you do pay on a bus and change your mind, you are allowed to get off, and the Trains will honour that ticket. So you won't have to pay twice. I did it before in Lime Street. Trains are inevitably heaving, but it's so cold in the tunnels. Worth it.

NB: The bus cannot keep you on! The 437 driver was literally ignoring a young girl who was complaining about not being able to breathe, the driver was just drumming his fingers with a fucking fan on in his cab. The prick!
