Car

There are car parking facilities at over 40 stations across our network that can be used free of charge.

Using Merseyrail is a hassle-free way to travel. Simply park at one of our park and ride sites, buy your ticket and hop on the train, which are every 15 minutes. Better still, you’ll beat the traffic and save money too, by not paying car parking costs at your end destination.

Pay and display parking is available at Hooton, Chester and Southport Stations.

Please be aware, cars cannot be left overnight at our park and ride sites.

 

You'll find the stations with car parks and the number of spaces available listed below.

Trains run every 15 minutes 7am - 7pm Monday and Saturday, on all lines except the Ellesmere Port line. Outside of these hours and on Sundays frequency of trains varies. Trains on the Southport line run every 15 minutes from start to end of service Monday - Saturday. On Sundays trains run every 30 minutes.
