I noticed at Ellesmere Port yesterday that many people buy the anytime return to Liverpool, which is £5.00, or anytime return to Chester, which is £3.75, as opposed to the day savers at £4.50 all areas & £3.30 area G. At least they are on the first page of popular destinations now, but if you...

I used this stretch of line a couple of months back. The first time since around 1990. I was travelling to Ellesmere Port, back from Manchester. I normally go via Liverpool, but missed the train, so caught the Chester bound one. With that running late, it worked out it gave me a good...

Ellesmere Port, Overpool, Little Sutton, capenhurst and Bache have information points, which have monitors that show the time of the next trains and the destination. They don't have any station announcements or the type of displays that are at other MerseyRail stations.

All the unmanned stations are now in the penalty fare zone on Merseyrail, though the information on board trains suggests otherwise. The penalty fare zone was extended to all stations shortly after the ticket machines came in to operation. There are signs at the stations informing passengers...

There have been quite a few cancellations on the Chester services due to very late running, with them being terminated short of Liverpool, and restarted from Rock Ferry or Hooton. . When this is the case, the information boards advise to board the Ellesmere Port service and change at Hooton...

Merseyrail has been running a 30 minute service on all routes. Oddly, National Rail was claiming Merseyrail were running an hourly service on 23rd, yet it was operating a 30 minute service.

I also emailed Merseyrail a couple of weeks ago, and had a reply of them on Monday just gone. They told me that there had been some technical issues in updating the TVM's to make the day tickets available, and they would be available by the end of the week. Unfortunately, having tried...
