With excitement building ahead of Everton's first Premier League fixture at their brand new stadium on Liverpool's waterfront,
00:08
Metro Mercier-Rotherham has offered an update on what fans can expect when it comes to rail travel on match days.
00:15
The Blues will kick off their new era on Saturday 23rd of August against Brighton and Hove Albion,
00:21
the same side they faced at the start of their final season at Cuddison Park.
00:25
The game also coincides with International Beetle Week, meaning thousands more visitors are expected in the city.
00:33
Mr Rotherham told BBC Radio Merseyside that planning is underway to ease the pressure on the Merseywell network,
00:39
but said it's not as simple as putting on more trains.
00:43
He explained that current analogue signalling limits how many trains can run safely at once
00:48
and upgrading to digital systems is the only long-term solution.
00:52
But there is some good news. Extra capacity will be added on the day.
00:56
Eight carriage trains will run earlier to avoid dangerous overcrowding like that seen during test events.
01:03
Mr Rotherham also encouraged fans to walk from the city centre or use priser stations like Bank Hall and James Street,
01:10
saying he expects supporters will soon settle into their own match day routines.
01:14
A fan zone near the 52,000-seater Hill Dickinson Stadium will also help manage crowds and ensure safe journeys in and out.
01:23
Representatives from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Everton Football Club
01:28
have met with fans regarding transport issues ahead of the final test event for the Bramley Moor Dock Stadium on August 9th.
01:36
Everton's first game at their new home promises to be a historic moment on the pitch and across Liverpool.
