Merseyrail have revealed travel plans for Everton’s first night game at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
David Moyes’ side will entertain Mansfield Town in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup second round tie, marking the second competitive match at their new home.
Fans will still be able to Sandhill as the main station as a 15-minute walk to the stadium with a new second entrance opened and a footbridge to improve access.
A 15-minute timetable will see trains running on the Southport, Ormskirk, Hunts Cross and Headbolt Lane lines which will also be in effect after the final whistle.
Temporary changes to the timetable will apply to Liverpool-bound services on the Southport line between 5.30pm and 10.30pm on the day of the game.
Supporters wanting to avoid queues and busy services at Sandhills will have the option of a 30-minute walk from Moorfields, Water Street and Bank Hall stations.
A step-free shuttle service will run between Sandhills and Boundary Street from 5pm until kick-off and after the match which will need to be booked in advance.
Suzanne Grant, Merseyrail’s deputy managing director, said: “We’re proud to support Everton FC and its fans as they settle into their new home at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
“Our teams have worked hard to ensure that travel to and from the match is as smooth and safe as possible.
“With additional services, improved station access, and a dedicated fan management zone at Sandhills, we’re confident supporters will have a positive journey experience.
“We encourage everyone to plan ahead, allow extra time, and follow the guidance of our staff on the day.”
