Merseyrail announces extra evening services for key workers

4th April 2020

Merseyrail announced a reduced timetable starting on Thursday 2 April as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with services operating between 07:00 and 19:00 Monday to Saturday (Sunday services differ).

 This was based on staff availability to provide a reliable service to key workers and those making essential journeys.

Following feedback from those still travelling on the network, Merseyrail’s planning team has worked hard and staff have agreed to longer hours to make small adjustments to the reduced timetable using the resources available.

Merseyrail is now able to provide an additional limited service on some lines between 19:00 and 22:00 Monday to Saturday to better accommodate those travelling to or from work.

The additional evening services are as follows:

Southport line (Southport to Liverpool Central only)

Additional services leaving Southport at 18:43, 19:43 and 20:43

Additional services leaving Liverpool Central at 19:53, 20:38 and 21:38
