Major train disruption is expected at Liverpool Lime Street all day Friday due to severe weather, with temperatures set to exceed 30C. Northern has already cancelled services due to arrive at or depart from the station later today, affecting several other lines and stations. Hot weather can expand overhead lines and steel rails, forcing trains to slow down or be cancelled to prevent damage.
