RAIL passengers were due to face disruption today when the line between Southport and Merseyside closed for major engineering work.
The line will be closed for nine days while three miles of track is replaced -- a project that will cost operator Network Rail £1.5 million.
Rail replacement buses have been arranged by Arriva.
