Merseyrail is reminding Eurovision fans of special late night services which will run on Saturday after the final of the song contest.
The train operator has released a Eurovision timetable - including late night trains - to help people get home during the festivities this week. While the changes will mean more trains will run, it will also mean some stations will close at certain times.
For the rest of this week up until Friday, a normal weekday timetable will run on Merseyrail's Northern and Wirral lines. James Street Station will be closed from 8pm each evening to ensure the effective management of large numbers of passengers who are expected to be travelling around the city.

On Saturday May 13, the day of the Eurovision Grand Final, trains will run to a 20-minute frequency on all parts of the Merseyrail network, except for the Ellesmere Port line which will run to a 30-minute frequency. This timetable allows trains to extend into the early hours of Sunday morning.
On Saturday, James Street station and Liverpool Lime Street Low Level Station will be closed all day in order to help manage the large number of people expected at the Grand Final.
Wirral Line trains will only call at Liverpool Central and trains on the Southport, Hunts Cross, Kirkby and Ormskirk lines will only call at Moorfields.
