The BBC are reporting that Liverpool Street station may be open this afternoon for mainline services, although it looks like local trains won't be running until Thursday morning. As we posted earlier, the station missed it's scheduled re-opening this morning. A "shortage of specialist engineers" is the culprit, apparently, presumably busy sleeping off their New Years hangovers instead of pulling down a railway bridge.
Passengers are being advised to seek alternative transportation, so if anybody has a spare hovercraft, hang glider or bicycle sidecar, get down to the City and you could pick up a few fares.
