Merseyside

城市概覽

Merseyside is one of the metropolitan counties of England, created in 1974. Before that, Wirral was wholly within Cheshire and the area north and east of the Mersey was part of Lancashire.

如何抵達

By plane 1 Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL IATA) receives flights from Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Eire, the Canary Islands, continental Europe and the Mediterranean. The nearest airport for flights from North America, the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East is Manchester Airport, which is about an hour away by car. Though, the major intercontinental routes are through Heathrow and Gatwick in London.

By road The M62, M53, M57 and M58 motorways connect Merseyside to the national motorway network.

By coach Long-distance coaches are provided by Flixbus, Megabus and National Express to Liverpool.

當地交通

By car and motorbike Motorists should be aware that the two road tunnels, from Birkenhead and Wallasey to Liverpool, both have a toll for use. The toll booths are all situated on the Wirral side of the river.

By train and bus Frequent and reliable Merseyrail services operate between many of Merseyside's stations. There is also an extensive bus network. Saveaway tickets are valid on all public transport in Merseyside. These can be purchased at any staffed railway or bus stations in Merseyside. An "all areas" ticket is best, particularly if intending to also travel to Chester and Ellesmere Port. The ticket costs about £5 per day, for off-peak use.

By bike Passengers can take a bike on Merseyrail trains or the Mersey ferry at no extra charge. Cycling is not permitted through the Wallasey (Kingsway) road tunnel at all, and not permitted through Birkenhead (Queensway) road tunnel M-F 6AM-8PM, Sa 7AM-8PM, and Su 8AM-9PM. Cyclists will have to use the train or ferry to cross the river, during these times. If using the Queensway tunnel during the night, cyclists must also maintain a speed of at least 10 mph (16 km/h) uphill for about one mile, so a good fitness level is required.
