More Merseyrail trains will be put on for an expected increase in passenger numbers set to attend the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Liverpool 2019.
The main event takes place on Sunday, May 26 and additional morning trains will be put on that day.
In the past, Merseyrail has run a normal service, but due to the early start of the marathon and after receiving feedback from the passengers, the rail operator has confirmed that earlier trains will run this year.
