	Merseyrail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Merseyrail is the name given to the electric commuter train network centred on Liverpool.
		Merseyrail is one of the most frequent British commuter systems outside London, transporting 100,000 passengers a day, with services running (on average) every 15 minutes during weekday daytime, and 30 minutes at evenings and weekends.
		Merseyrail formerly had four Class 73 electro-diesel locomotives for shunting, sandite trains, engineering works and other departmental duties; two of these had been repainted in the yellow livery of the previous franchise holder.

		Liverpool is currently served by a metro-like system, Merseyrail, which is a service similar to the S-Bahn systems in many German cities or Australia's Sydney and Melbourne rail systems.
		Merseyrail contains three separate lines, two of which (Northern and Wirral Lines) are electrified and separate from all other rail traffic and travel in tunnels beneath central Liverpool.
		Merseyrail was created by combining several older electric train lines with new central city tunnels and newly built or electrified lines.

	Burges Salmon - News - Burges Salmon demonstrates national reach with complex Merseyrail concession
		Merseyrail Electrics was awarded the concession to operate LSP through a competative tender process which began in 2004.
		The concession contract is similar to that which applies to Merseyrail Electrics' operating concession for the Northern and Wirral lines.
		The property arrangments are particularly complicated, partly because Network Rail does not own all the land on which the station is built (part is owned by Liverpool City Council) and partly because the station is a new build.

		A Parliamentary Order is being taken forward for the Merseyrail Electrics services to be exempt from the SRA's franchise responsibilities, allowing Merseytravel to let the services as a local concession.
		The services are currently operated by Arriva Trains Merseyside, the greater part of which are supported by, and operate to, the specification of Merseytravel (the Merseyside PTA and PTE).
		The self contained nature of the network, the services and the market it serves means that the Merseyrail Electrics network is uniquely suited to greater local control and accountability.

	RMT conference \| The Socialist 7 - 13 July 2005
		So Merseyrail would control the tracks, signals and stations as well as operating the trains.
		And Merseyrail would be a guinea pig for the whole network to be re-privatised and handed over to Train Operating Companies like Virgin, Scotrail and GNER.
		Merseyrail-controlled signal boxes will obviously give preference to Merseyrail trains holding up other companies' trains and Virgin would do the same on its part of the track as well, and so on across the whole country if this was allowed to succeed.

		Merseyrail was recently taken over by SERCO, who operate the entire Northern Railways network, and therefore, money should no longer be a problem when it comes to improving the Merseyrail network.
