Merseyrail launched a £10 million contactless payment system on February 25, 2026, enabling tap-in/tap-out fares with cards or devices, reducing queues and aligning with major UK cities' digital standards.
On February 25, 2026, Merseyrail launched a £10 million Tap & Go contactless payment system, allowing passengers to use bank cards, smartphones, or smartwatches to tap in and out across the network.
The upgrade, part of a long-delayed modernization effort, aims to improve convenience, reduce boarding times, and cut ticket office queues.
While traditional tickets and ticket offices remain available, the system automatically charges the lowest fare.
The rollout, supported by Mayor Steve Rotheram, aligns Merseyrail with digital payment standards in major UK cities and coincides with a fare freeze until March 2027.
