Merseyrail is still not being upgraded until 2012 at the least as far as I know. There are class 508s down south (the same as the trains we have up here, I believe they were all used here once too, sent down there due to less need up here) coming off service and doing nothing, could've been used as a short term measure to boost frequency at peak times and such, 15 minutes is inadequate as it stands, on the south part of the Merseyrail network all bus services to Hunts Cross are a lot more frequent and just as heavily loaded at times, shows the need for extra trains.

Merseyrail now want a tram link from LSP to JLA which would be another huge waste especially when it takes the bus all of 10-15 minutes to get there from LSP. Why not focus on the trains which are seemingly left to be ran into the ground and sound worse everytime I go near one which is more frequently recently since they messed around with service C4, ah typical Merseytravel
