A legend of Liverpool's music scene said he was "so grateful" to Merseyrail staff after he left his valuables on one of their trains.
Peter Hooton, frontman of Liverpool band The Farm, took to Twitter to praise the Merseyrail staff who rescued his lost valuables. The singer and chairman of The Beatles Legacy Group's bank cards went missing during a journey with the rail service and he returned to the station looking for them.
They were not there, but had been rescued by rail workers who had them waiting for him at another station where they were returned to him. Peter, from Crosby, told his followers to "support the RMT Union," as without rail workers he would not have had such a "brilliant result."

He added a "ticket machine" could never have provided the exceptional customer service he received. He said: "Brilliant result tonight on Merseyrail.
"I lost my bank cards on the train, [so I] went back to the station and they had been handed in at another station. How could a ticket machine provide that type of customer service?
"Support the RMT Union."
The RMT Union, which has been the subject of public debate recently after their unionised rail workers began country-crippling strike action in June, responded to his Tweet. They said: "Glad the superb railway family looked after you Peter."
The singer responded in turn, saying he was "so grateful" for the efforts of the rail workers. He said: "So grateful - they couldn't have been more helpful" followed by the fist emoji, a sign of solidarity.
The RMT Union is planning further strike action next week.
