MERSEYRAIL TRAINS

 

MERSEYRAIL TRAINS is the transport system that runs electrical urban train services in Liverpool and Birkenhead, connecting Chester, Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby, Liverpool South Parkway (for Liverpool John Lennon Airport), New Brighton, Ellesmere Port and West Kirby with Birkenhead and Liverpool.

Merseyrail is also used by the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive to describe other railway services on Merseyside. These are the City Line from Liverpool Lime Street to St Helens, Wigan, Warrington, Manchester, and Crewe.

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.

The various Merseyrail lines are not tightly connected with Northern and City Line services both using Hunts Cross and the new Liverpool South Parkway to the south of the city while the Northern and Wirral lines both use Liverpool Central and Moorfields.

Merseyrail trains welcome passengers with bikes, who can find dedicated cycle storage areas at each end of the train.

With almost 800 Merseyrail trains running every day, Merseyrail offers frequent services on all lines - usually every 15 minutes on each line (every 30 minutes to Chester) - meaning that services through Liverpool city centre run every few minutes. This gives you great flexibility when booking train tickets.
