Merseyrail boss defends e-bikes ban

Merseyrail managing director Suzanne Grant has defended the network's decision to ban most e-bikes from trains and stations. Grant acknowledged that passengers often dislike being told what to do, yet the policy remains in place. Additionally, Merseyrail is set to sign up for the nuisance ban introduced by Andy Burnham. The move aims to address specific disruptions across the transport network, ensuring that the restrictions on e-bikes are maintained to manage passenger safety and comfort.
