Merseyrail change train timetable for Grand National 2024

Merseyrail will change the train timetable for The Randox Grand National 2024 Festival.

Services will run every seven-and-a-half-minutes between Liverpool City Centre and Aintree station before the start and after the finish of the races on each day of the festival. Trains on Merseyrail’s Northern line will also run to a slightly amended timetable for those attending the event, which takes place from Thursday , April 11 until Saturday, April 13.

Suzanne Grant, chief commercial officer and deputy managing director at Merseyrail, said: "We are delighted to once again provide a special timetable for The Randox Grand National 2024 Festival. This is a huge event for the Liverpool City Region, and Merseyrail is proud to play such a vital role in ensuring people have a great day at the races.

"Not only are we providing a seven-and-a-half-minute service, but as usual we will have entertainment and fun at the main stations festival goers will travel through. It’s always a busy time for us across the Merseyrail network, so I would advise anyone travelling over the three days to check before you travel by using the journey planner on our website or the Merseyrail app."

Customers are being advised to buy tickets in advance to help reduce queuing time on the day. These can be bought in advance from any staffed Merseyrail station, or a Day Saver can be purchased online via the Merseyrail website and emailed directly to you. Any tickets bought via Trainline.com or any other train operating companies’ websites must be printed at a Merseyrail ticket office before travel.
