Merseyrail is the name of the commuter rail network and train operating company which provides the majority of local rail services on Merseyside.[2] The Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive, branded Merseytravel, coordinates public transport in Merseyside. In respect of rail services, it is responsible for awarding the Merseyrail franchise to private operators,[2] and for setting zonal boundaries for season ticket fares.[3] Other regional rail services in the metropolitan county are run by operators such as Northern; Merseytravel also sponsors these services, and the Merseyrail branding is used at the stations which they serve.

The following table lists the name and three-letter code of each station, the year it first opened, the metropolitan borough in which it lies, the zone(s) in which it is situated, the train operators who currently provide its services and the number of passengers using the station in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 financial years as collated by the Office of Rail Regulation a Government body.[4]
The rail network is divided into four lettered areas, which are subdivided into numbered zones:

Fares for weekly and longer-period rail, bus and intermodal season tickets are set according to the number of zones and/or areas passed through.[3] Day tickets are issued between individual stations, however.
The Merseyrail area extends into some adjacent boroughs which are not part of Merseyside; for fare-setting purposes, additional zones F (yellow) and G (orange) cover these.[3] The following non-Merseyside stations are served by Merseyrail trains:
