Merseyrail's web site just announced that due to “shere” (their spelling) volume of passengers, services were running up to 30 minutes late. Then at 8.15pm Lime Street station was closed for thirty minutes for safety reasons.
Two statistics which neatly sum up the scene in Liverpool city centre tonight, which I'm watching on Sky News from the comfort of my home. I'm not a football fan, but what a fantastic atmosphere!
