Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
I have just heard that the trains from Birkenhead North to West Kirby and New Brighton are only running on a 30-minute frequency instead of the usual 15-minute one. I fear that the Arriva drivers on the rail replacement services will come in for some unfair criticism as they pull into the station just as the train is departing leaving irate passengers with a 29-minute wait on a cold and wet platform. I foresee some passengers opening the doors themselves in order to make the connection.
