25th August proved to be extremely busy for rail services in the Merseyside area, as well as the 2008 CofC events, it was the Matthew Street festival and as many trains on the Merseyrail network were pressed into service.
Although Network Rail tried to scupper long distance travellers into the city , with engineering works, there were more than a few that managed to visit Liverpool.
This photo shows one of the strengthened services, a view from Everton Valley across to Wallasey, with a Northern Line 6 car working, taking people home from the day's events.
