Massive queues on Victoria Street and around entrance to tunnels
Traffic could be down to Christmas market, shoppers and theatre shows among other reasons
Today we have seen the opening of the Liverpool Christmas market, bringing in people from all over the region. That, as well as early festive shopping and the popular Charlie and the Chocolate Factory currently at the Liverpool Empire could be contributing to the huge amount of drivers and people in the city centre today.
