Merseyrail Grand National Journeys Exceed 105,000

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the Liverpool Business News.

This is the first paragraph.

Train operator Merseyrail records more 105,000 passenger journeys made by racegoers during the three-day Grand National festival – and it gave away 4,000 pairs of flip-flops.

These are some points from the rest of the article.

• Many were carried on the new 777 Class trains.
• Merseyrail increased the number of trains during the three days and, at times, was running a seven-and-a-half-minute frequency.
• There was live music and entertainment for passengers at Aintree station.
• £4,200 was raised by charitable collections at the station.

It looks like a lot of people had a good time.

It was probably all good practice for Eurovision.
