Merseyrail is an urban network of vital importance to the transport infrastructure of Liverpool and its environs, operating on the Wirral and Northern Lines within Merseyside. It is one of the most punctual and reliable railway networks in the UK, with consistently high scores for customer satisfaction.
At a glance:
- 75 route miles, outer termini at Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby, Hunts Cross on the Northern Line, and New Brighton, West Kirby, Chester and Ellesmere Port on the Wirral Line,
- core city centre underground network, including 6.5 miles in tunnels and 5 underground stations, giving easy access to work, study, shopping and leisure,
- underground section includes the original Mersey railway tunnel opened in 1886,
- approximately 100 000 passenger journeys per weekday or 36 million passenger journeys per annum,
- Nearly50 %of passengers are daily users,
- 67 stations of which 66 are managed by Merseyrail,
- One of the most intensively used networks in the UK with over 800 train services daily (Monday to Friday),
- clockface, regular interval timetable (15 minute frequencies, increasing to 5 minute on city centre sections),
- approximately 1200 staff,
- a fleet of 59 refurbished Class 507 and 508 trains.
Merseyrail is a unique concession in the UK as the Department for transport has been delegated by Parliament to the Merseyside Passenger transport executive (Merseytravel) and the concession agreement is between Merseyrail and Merseytravel. This gives much better local control by local people of local services. Another unique feature is the length of the concession which is 25 years from 20.7.2003 with review dates along the way.
The concession is operated by Merseyrail Electrics 2002 Ltd, a 50/50 Joint Venture company between Serco and Abellio.
