Merseytravel provides information and special tickets for buses, trains and ferries to help you make the most of your time in Merseyside. We are the best-performing rail operator in the UK - you'll find the extensive Merseytravel network makes sites across Merseyside quick and easy-to-reach throughout your stay here.

The airport link
Liverpool South Parkway is a new Merseyrail station near Liverpool John Lennon airport. There are frequent shuttle bus services from the station to and from the airport, while regular train services run into the city centre and beyond.

Trains
Fast, frequent services operate across the whole of Merseyside. The shops, beach and attractions of Southport are only half an hour from Liverpool city centre, or in less than 20 minutes you could be at historic Port Sunlight on the Wirral.

Buses
Linking up with the Merseyrail network and the Mersey Ferries, our frequent bus services ensure you have the opportunity to make the most of your visit to the region.

Ferries
The famous Mersey Ferry remains the most popular ‘paid-for' attraction in the region - a River Explorer Cruise gives the best views of the Liverpool's historic World Heritage waterfront. The service operates throughout the year.

Saveaway tickets
The ideal pre-paid ticket to explore Merseyside, this special one-day ticket allows you to travel on buses, trains and ferries at any time except the morning peak (including all day weekends and on Bank Holidays).
