Merseyrail has released its timetable for this year's Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecourse.
The famous festival will return to Merseyside from Thursday April 7 to Saturday April 9 - the day of the showpiece Grand National race. The world famous racing festival was cancelled in 2020 because of the covid pandemic and was held behind closed doors last year as the pandemic continued.
Excitement is now growing ahead of this year's event, which is set to return in full. That will mean huge numbers of people will be heading to Aintree - and public transport will be essential over the course of the festival.
