About this deal

Merseyrail are partnering with Liverpool BID to offer FREE rail travel on the Merseyrail network every Friday for 6 weeks from 17 May to celebrate their Get That Friday Feeling campaign.

To claim a FREE ticket, simply fill out the form on the website by 12pm on the Thursday before the Friday date you wish to travel. Tickets will then be emailed that afternoon, to be used the next day only. If you wish to travel more than one Friday during the 6-week period, please ensure you register again by 12pm on the Thursday before.

Terms and Conditions:

A rail travel voucher entitles one person to make one return journey between any origin and end station on the Merseyrail network free of charge.

The Merseyrail network covers the Northern line between Liverpool and Southport, Ormskirk, Headbolt Lane via Kirkby and Hunts Cross, and the Wirral Line between Liverpool and New Brighton, West Kirby, Ellesmere Port and Chester.

The rail travel voucher is only valid for one Friday date during the 6-week period from 17 May 2024 during Merseyrail’s operating hours.

Travel will not be permitted without proof of a valid rail travel voucher. Passengers must be able to present it upon request at any point during their journey

Rail travel vouchers are non-transferable; the passenger travelling using a rail travel voucher must be the person who registered for it.

At any point during their journey, the registered passenger must be able to produce officially recognised ID (i.e.photo ID card, passport, driving licence).

Rail travel vouchers must be surrendered if requested by a member of Merseyrail staff.

Rail travel vouchers are not exchangeable for cash.

Where can you take this train from where to where. I live in south London. Can I take the train from London Euston to Liverpool
15th May
You can take it from Liverpool to Chester and then you have visited two great cities!
From London to Liverpool you can use the Avanti tickets for £15 and get a free drink, bargain!

Do you have to print your ticket off or collect it before hand?
Heard of many people getting fined at the barriers
15th May
You get the ticket via email. You don't need to print it out. The ticket has your name on it so you need to bring along an ID just in case staff ask for it but I've used these free tickets giveaways quite a few times and I've never been asked for ID.

Don't you need a printed ticket on merseyrail. They used to fine you if it was on your phone.
15th May
They still do - many stories in the echo
15th May
Thanks for the info., OP!
I've passed the details on to a few people who'd appreciate it
17th May
Went to Chester today
A really great cracking deal and yes they don't need a print out and they're too busy to check your details let alone ask for proof of ID
Be aware that at the barrier you will need a member of staff to show it to who will then open the barriers (edited)

I read it as free Maserati without my glasses. That would be a good deal

Be careful not to receive a fine with this offer . Some people saying you don’t need to print it out etc
read the T&C carefully or you’ll get a penalty fare
16th May
Do you need to print or not?
16th May
Looking at some reviews this is best to avoid. It looks like they use any excuse at all to fine people- I would not trust them with an 'offer' such as this.
16th May
The link is dead.

edit - arghh its a 12pm cutoff. Missed it for this week! (edited)
16th May
Yep the link is now dead but managed to get the email to get my free travel. Might visit Chester last time I’ve been there was with school years ago.
16th May
Did anyone else fill in the form before the cutoff but not receive an email?
17th May
Anyone successfully used it today? Bit wary given the comments!
17th May
I’ve signed up on Thursday and got my email same day. Using it now , chosen destination Liverpool central but changed my mind to make a day out to Chester and looks good as can use all Merseyrail destinations.

Did they accept it?
20th May
Can you book for multiple people? I was hoping to take my two boys to Liverpool for the day.

All tickets already taken for this Friday? It says 'Registrations have now closed.' but not sure if that's for this week or hangover from last week.
14 h, 39 m ago
Yes incredibly they all sold out as quickly as it went live so no more for this week

I checked on Sunday - promotion not open yet. Checked Monday morning, this promotion has now closed.

That's why we can't have nice (free) things. I'll bet my bottom that half of those claimed tickets won't be used - since they cost nothing to get, there's nothing lost in not using them.

I'd much prefer a deal for £1 or something - still saves a bundle but stops people claiming a bootfull of freebies they won't use.
