The Northern Line train to Southport train will leave Liverpool Central at 1.30am and arrive at Southport at 2.04am. The train will only stop to drop passengers off at Waterloo and Formby and will not stop at any other stations on this line.
The Wirral Line train will leave Liverpool Central at 1.30am and arrive at Hooton at 1.52am. It will only stop to drop passengers off at Birkenhead Central, Bebington and Bromborough and will not stop at any other stations on this line.
Some very interesting train journeys are going to be had! People getting on who fall asleep as they are drunk and miss their stop, people just drunk who didnt really want that train but cant get back off again.And drunks not allowed to get on! Sounds nuts!
