Merseyrail has announced that extra evening services will run for key workers heading either to or from work.

Yesterday, a new reduced timetable started as a result of the pandemic, with trains operating between 07:00 – 19:00.

This is based on staff availability to provide a reliable service for key workers during the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, following feedback, Merseyrail has worked hard to agree on a limited evening service for essential journeys.

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

The additional evening services are as follows:

• Kirkby line
  • Additional services leaving Kirkby at 19:13, 20:13, 21: 13 and 21:58
  • Additional services leaving Liverpool Central at 19:35, 20:35 and 21:35
• 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
• Chester line
  • Additional services leaving Chester at 20:15 and 22:00
  • Additional services leaving Moorfields and terminating at Rock Ferry at 22:41
  • Additional services leaving Moorfields and terminating at Chester at 19:11 and 20:56
• West Kirby line
  • Additional services leaving West Kirby at 20:01 and 21:31
  • Additional services leaving Moorfields at 19:15, 20:31 and 22:01 (22:01 terminates at Bidston)

Please check the Merseyrail website for the very latest information.

Unfortunately, as the situation regarding Covid-19 changes rapidly, it is likely that the timetable will change again in the future.
