List of railway stations in Merseyside
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:EngvarB Template:Merseyrail map This is a list of railway stations within the county of Merseyside, a metropolitan county in northwest England. The county seat is the city of Liverpool; Merseyside also includes the metropolitan boroughs of Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral.[1] It includes all railway stations in Merseyside that currently have regular timetabled train services.
Merseyrail is the name of the commuter rail network and train operating company which provides the majority of local rail services on Merseyside.[2] The Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive, branded Merseytravel, coordinates public transport in Merseyside. In respect of rail services, it is responsible for awarding the Merseyrail franchise to private operators,[2] and for setting zonal boundaries for season ticket fares.[3] Other regional rail services in the metropolitan county are run by operators such as Northern; Merseytravel also sponsors these services, and the Merseyrail branding is used at the stations which they serve.
Stations currently in use
The following table lists the name and three-letter code of each station, the year it first opened, the metropolitan borough in which it lies, the zone(s) in which it is situated, the train operators who currently provide its services and the number of passengers using the station in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 financial years as collated by the Office of Rail Regulation a Government body.[4]
Zones
The rail network is divided into four lettered areas, which are subdivided into numbered zones:
| Area name | Colour | Letter | Zones |

| Sefton | Red | D | D1, D2 |
| St Helens | Brown | A | A1, A2, A3 |
| Wirral | Blue | B | B1, B2 |
Fares for weekly and longer-period rail, bus and intermodal season tickets are set according to the number of zones and/or areas passed through.[3] Day tickets are issued between individual stations, however.
The Merseyrail area extends into some adjacent boroughs which are not part of Merseyside; for fare-setting purposes, additional zones F (yellow) and G (orange) cover these.[3] The following non-Merseyside stations are served by Merseyrail trains:
