MERSEYRAIL is keen to support the Liverpool City

be made to the timetable to ensure the network is best
geared up to meet demand. Passengers are advised to
check times before travelling.

service will run on all lines. |
| Sunday, 24 May 2015 - all Merseyrail
services will start one hour earlier, ahead of the arrival of
the Queen Mary |
Monday, 25 May 2015 - to ensure crowds
are managed safely and passengers have an enjoyable travel
experience, access to City Centre Stations will be restricted at
key times:-
► From 1pm, no Northern line trains
will stop at Liverpool Central station. Northern line passengers
are advised to use Moorfields Station.
► James Street station will close at
1pm. Wirral line passengers should use Liverpool Central or Lime

Moorfields station will remain closed for refurbishment during.
Also:-
Northern Line

Wirral Line

crowds are expected. Before 8am and after 7pm, there will be a
normal service. |
Commented Alan Chaplin, interim managing director at
Merseyrail:- "We recognise that transport
contributes significantly to the overall success of
events on this scale, and we've made changes to the
timetable to enable as many people as possible to get to
and from key locations over the three days. There will
be more services, additional carriages, and we will work
hard to ensure that the Merseyrail experience is as
pleasant and hassle free as possible."
Mersey Ferries
SPECIAL cruises are
scheduled during the three days of the event meaning
that there will be no normal cross river services
operating. The majority of cruises will offer a round
trip back to the point of departure. More details on the
event cruises can be found at:-
MerseyFerries.co.uk.
As a cross river alternative, consider taking the train
to and from Hamilton Square on the Wirral line of the
Merseyrail network.
