Merseyrail are encouraging passengers to do their bit to reduce single use plastic by installing the first free water refill point on the network.


The water dispenser is located at Liverpool South Parkway on the main concourse, and comes as part of an ongoing commitment by the train operating company to reduce waste and increase sustainability across the network.


The announcement follows news that Merseyrail will no longer automatically print receipts for passengers – saving up to 600km of paper each year.


Free travel tickets were also handed out across Liverpool city centre in June to celebrate Clean Air Day and encourage commuters to travel by train to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions in the city

We invested in water refill points some time ago, liked them so much we have them around the house and even the garden.

Its nice to be on trend, so much better than those old taps.
