Liverpool Central is set to gain four new shops as a push to regenerate the shopping centre above the station continues.
Tony Hetherington is Financial Mail on Sunday s ace investigator, fighting readers corners, revealing the truth that lies behind closed doors and winning victories for those who have been left out-of-pocket. Find out how to contact him below.
S.H. writes: I used Trainline to buy a £7 Merseyrail ticket from Ormskirk to Liverpool Central Station, but when I arrived in Liverpool, staff would not accept it as valid.
An officer issued me with a £20 penalty notice, though at the same time he told a lady who said she had forgotten her ticket that she could buy another.
When I contacted Trainline and Merseyrail, the penalty notice was cancelled. However, Trainline then refunded the £7 to me, so Merseyrail sent me a fresh penalty notice for £27, and as I did not pay, it now wants £125.

The chow chow also injured her leg in the incident at 08:20 GMT on Sunday near Liverpool Central station.
Ms McDonald said the dog s leg injury meant she could not bear weight on it, adding it is miraculous she is alive .
