Threads in the past have discussed Merseyrail's Day Saver ticket, which is only 10p cheaper than the equivalent Merseyside Saveaway but with much less validity.

Along the same theme, I noticed today that Merseyrail has introduced the Merseyrail Only Railpass, which is only valid on the Northern and Wirral lines. https://www.merseyrail.org/tickets-passes/season-tickets/railpass.aspx

The savings aren't huge - an annual all zones ticket is £1,111 compared to £1,169 for the normal Railpass. But with it only being valid on their services, Merseyrail will get 100% of the revenue, so it could be a nice earner for them if people switch to the cheaper product.

Many passengers who only use Merseyrail Electrics services probably won't mind the loss of validity to save some money - indeed, I've seen people on Twitter who didn't know Railpass can be used on other TOCs anyway. But it seems to add another layer of complexity into Merseyside's ticketing system, which used to be very simple.

So the areas of overlap would really only be between Liverpool Lime Street and Hunts Cross mainly?
