Where can I use it? 

Trio tickets are valid on buses, trains and Mersey Ferries* in your chosen zones or areas across Merseyside. Check which zone your journey starts in and which zone it ends in then make a note of the zones you travel through. Add the number of zones together (if you travel through two or more zones in one area, this counts as one area). If you find that your journey will take you outside your chosen ticket’s zone or area, simply pay the normal fare for the ‘extra’ part of your journey before the journey begins. You can combine different types of season tickets for journeys through different areas or zones. For example, you could travel from Liverpool to Ormskirk either by an all zones Railpass (rail only) or a Trio ticket for area C and a Railpass for Zone F. *For cross river journeys only. To enjoy the full, continuous River Explorer Cruise you can either buy a supplementary ticket for your Trio or you can buy a full River Explorer Cruise ticket from the terminal when collecting your boarding pass.
