Ellesmere Port Each area is further subdivided into zones. There is considerable overlap of area A and C, with all parts of Knowsley lying in area A also being covered by area C. This region is designated as zone A3/C2/C3. Two rail-only areas exist, for stations covered by Merseyrail outside the current Liverpool City Region. Area F covers the Northern line from Maghull to Ormskirk, whilst Area G covers the section of the Wirral line from Hooton to Ellesmere Port and Chester. Until January 2008, a "cross-Mersey" area E existed, which covered the central areas of Liverpool and Birkenhead, as well as the ferry terminal at Seacombe. Tickets were commonly issued for areas B and E covering the whole of Wirral together with Liverpool city centre. Birkenhead railway stations covered by area E were: Hamilton Square Conway Park Birkenhead Park Birkenhead North Birkenhead Central Green Lane See also Liverpool Tramways Company Merseytram Wirral Street Car References External links Companies owned by municipalities of England Public transport executives in the United Kingdom Transport in Liverpool Transport in Merseyside Transport companies established in 1969 1969 establishments in England
