User reviews

Good but could be great

I like the app and use it daily but it would be so much better if it told you how many carriages each train was so that you can plan your journeys more effectively. Tell us which trains are 8 carriages please so we have a chance of finding a seat. I have also seen people in wheelchairs and others with bikes not getting on trains. Again this could be avoided if you let people plan their journeys effectively!

Response from developer

Thanks for the fantastic 5-star review! We're so pleased you are enjoying using our app.

Lack of alerts

My only problem with the app is the lack of notifications when there is a problem on one of the lines. There is the option to put in when you normally travel, and the times, which is then supposed to alert you if there is a problem but I’ve never had a notification of any of the issues. If I remember to check the app, it displays off there are problems with the lines. It would be great if you could at least get notification of any disruptions to the lines. Even better would be able to select which lines you want notifications for. The icing on the cake would be to set your normal travel times and stations to get a notification if one of those trains was affected

Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for your detailed feedback, we're happy to look into these problems and provide some help. To troubleshoot this issue, please go to iPhone 'Settings', scroll down to 'Notifications', under 'Notification Style', find the 'Merseyrail' row, tap it and make sure 'Allow Notifications' is toggled on. Once toggled on, further alert settings will appear for you to review. Go back to the app and navigate to the 'My Journeys' page, tap 'Edit' at the bottom of your screen, click 'Enable alerts to be notified of incidents that may affect your regular journeys'. Here you will be able to customise your notification day and time settings. When incidents occur on these days and times, you should be notified in line with how your notification settings in iPhone 'Settings' are applied. Thanks for the suggestion of being able to accept notifications by line and by service - we will pass this feedback on to the relevant team for review. In the meantime, if you need to contact a member of the team to discuss anything in further detail, you can do so here https://help.merseyrail.org/hc/en-gb/requests/new
