Your Next Day Out Is Just A Train Ride Away
More trains than ever along the North Wales Coast Line
It’s time to return to a simpler kind of summer. The kind that doesn’t need itineraries, a boarding pass printed out at the eleventh hour, and meticulous logistical planning that would rival a military operation.
This summer, Transport for Wales is introducing one of the most significant timetable changes in a generation along the North Wales Coast Line.
The upgraded timetable strengthens links between the North Wales Coast and Liverpool via Chester, with around 50% more train services and more regular journeys.
What does that mean for me, we hear you ask?
Your commute, day trip, hike, or staycation is all about to feel a lot smoother, as the journey becomes part of the experience.
Let someone else do the driving for once. Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the rolling hills along the Welsh countryside. We’re talking mountains, stretched sandy beaches, and medieval castles just outside your window... and when you step off the train, those same views are still right there waiting for you.
No parking faff or fees, no stopping for fuel and no traffic.
Things to do, places to be, people to see
Among the stations that are seeing a major upgrade are popular haunts for families, history buffs, bikers, hikers, and everything (and everyone) in between.
Visit Chester
Recently named Europe’s number one prettiest town, and for good reason. For our readers, Chester might feel like old news – maybe you’re a local or living nearby – but hear us out and try your hand at being a tourist in your own home.
Moments from two thousand-year-old Roman walls, the city enfolds medieval Rows, a beautiful cathedral, a racecourse, and a glinting river into one picture-perfect postcard shot. And if you've got kids in tow, Chester Zoo is one of the best in the country.
Visit Liverpool
Liverpool doesn't need much of an introduction, but it does need to be experienced – and arriving by train straight into the heart of the city is the best way to do it.
The waterfront alone is worth the trip: The Three Graces, the Royal Albert Dock, the Museum of Liverpool, all within easy walking distance of Lime Street.
Culture vultures are well catered for: Tate Liverpool, the Beatles Story, and a live music scene that’s given rise to some of the UK’s best acts. And if retail is more your thing, Liverpool ONE is right there.
It's just one of those cities that always delivers, no matter how many times you've been.
Let the trains fit around your plans, not the other way around.
Whether it’s the beaches in the west or the shops in the east, you can rest easy knowing your transport is smooth, sorted and scenic.
