Be aware that Liverpool - Manchester fares are NOT priced by Northern but by Transpennine Express , strange as there is more Northern services between Liverpool and Manchester.

IMO it could cause problems for guards/ticket collectors with some passengers getting on trains just before the peak times but passengers further down the line paying more for travelling on the same train! (or have I misunderstood what is being planned)

Merseyside has not been included in this restriction which apparently means that you could buy a CDR to any available destination exceopt those in the TfGM area. Or have I read this wrong?


RE: Northern Rail - wirralbus - 28/08/2014 18:24

I can confirm that Liverpool to Manchester tickets do not have an evening peak restriction , but Newton Le Willows to Manchester does have an evening peak restriction.

Which does seem plain daft as both LIV and NLW are in Merseyside.

I know it is but i think there is a lot of people that have merseytravel trios and railpasses to the county boundary and purchase tickets from there to manchester and its a way of catching them all.
