Merseyrail Train Tickets

Merseyrail Information

Liverpool's Merseyrail (sometimes referred to as the Merseyrail Underground, or Merseyrail Electrics) is one of the most frequent metro-style British commuter systems outside London, transporting 100,000 passengers a day.

Frequencies are Monday to Saturday: every 5 minutes on the inner section, every 15 minutes within the urban area, and every 30 minutes to longer distance suburban destinations (such as Chester & Ellesmere Port); Sundays: every 30 minutes to all destinations, giving half the frequency on the inner section compared to other days. Trains run from before 6am until around midnight. Frequencies are maintained from first until last train, with additional services during peak hours.

Merseyrail owned services run on two lines covering the Liverpool suburban area and greater Merseyside, with a total track length of 120 km, 75 miles and 67 stations. The Northern Line links Liverpool with Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby and Hunts Cross, while the Wirral Line, extending under the River Mersey, links Liverpool with New Brighton, West Kirby, Chester and Ellesmere Port.

Due to the one-way nature of the inner section of the Wirral Line, most Northern Line passengers wishing to travel to Lime Street for mainline national rail services tend to walk the short distance from Liverpool Central, instead of changing at Moorfields or James Street.
