Garswood railway station serves the village of Garswood in the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, Merseyside, England. It is situated on the electrified Merseytravel Liverpool to Wigan City Line, 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Liverpool Lime Street. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Trains, however the station is branded Merseyrail using Merseyrail ticketing.

History

The station was opened on 1 December 1869[1] by the Lancashire Union Railway on their route between St Helens and Blackburn. It later became part of the London and North Western Railway, with through running to Liverpool via Huyton commencing in 1871. Passenger services over the Wigan to Chorley and Blackburn section ended in January 1960.

Facilities

The station has a ticket office on the northbound platform (1) and a waiting room on platform 2. The ticket office is staffed throughout the hours of service (as is usual for Merseytravel-sponsored stations), seven days per week. Customer help points, digital PIS displays and timetable poster boards are provided to offer train running information. Step-free access is only available to platform 1, as platform 2 (for Liverpool) can only be reached via the footbridge (which has steps).[2]

Services

During Monday to Saturday daytimes, Garswood is served by trains every 30 minutes between Liverpool Lime Street and Wigan North Western.[3] A few peak hour trains run through to/from Preston and Blackpool North.

On Sundays the service is hourly, with trains through to Preston and Blackpool northbound.
