While it isn't a particularly huge station, it is does have quite a few facilities that make it a decent place to pass through, especially since you can dump your luggage in a room for dumping luggage, and also have a beer at the pub. It's also reasonably close to the city centre, and many of the places that one would want to visit if they happen to end up in Liverpool.

Cressington station is an attractive and Grade-II listed railway station, situated on the…read moreSouthport-Hunt's Cross 'Northern Line' of Merseyrail. It serves the suburb of Grassendale, an area of grand Victorian houses and a Conservation Area in its own right, and has 120,000 passengers a year. Opened in 1864 as Cressington & Grassendale by the Garston and Liverpool Railway, it was built in an attractive red-brick chalet style, with the main building at road level, and platforms in the cutting below. The building extends down to the Hunt's Cross platform, and also has an upper floor, originally staff accommodation. Services initially terminated at Brunswick station, but from 1874 they went into the Liverpool Central terminus until its closure in 1972 (by which time the service was down to a handful of trains a day). It reopened in 1978 as part of the electrified service using the new north-south tunnel through central Liverpool. This tunnel linked the networks north and south of the City Centre for the first time, via a rebuilt underground station at Liverpool Central and a new station at Moorfields. Trains now operate at 15 minute intervals throughout week-days and Saturdays on the Northern Line from Southport to Hunt's Cross, and every 30 minutes on Sundays.

Okay, I love this train station. Absolutely love it. It's picture perfect. (Which explains why I…read moretook so many photos.) And adorable. It was built in the 1800's and it shows. In a good way. It's all leafy and pretty and even the whole area around the station is delightfully green and "oldy worldy." You will see a lot of really pretty old houses in this area. And there's even a railway cat!

The station has four platforms, and there are some covered areas where you can wait for the trains. When I was there at 8 AM on a Monday, the station wasn't manned, so keep that in mind if you need assistance or want to buy tickets in person. The signage could be improved -- the platforms aren't clearly indicated, and I had to walk along the platform to figure out where I was and to find the display panels showing train information.

Theres nothing particularly special about Edge Hill railway station but as a regular user I have…read morealways found it to be pleasant enough. The station is down a small road off tunnel street and the decor is stonewall and it looks quaint and small more like the type of train station you would expect to find in a village in the country rather than a metropolitan city such as Liverpool. The staff are always polite and helpful and there is no shortage of information regarding your travel that they will give to you. So to summarise theres nothing standout about this place but I have always found that the people make it great and it is a reliable and convenient place to travel from.

It's well looked after, clean, the staff are friendly, and as Isabel has pointed out it has heated waiting areas which is always a plus in the colder months of the year. :) I don't think there are any shops around here worth shopping at, though, if I'm completely honest. If you need a newsagents or something, sure, but otherwise don't bother.

St Michael's is my local station and that makes me feel very lucky on two counts. 1) I can walk…read morethere in just five minutes and then get trains to Liverpool Central (where I can get connecting trains to The Wirral and beautiful Chester), Liverpool Lime St (trains to Manchester, Birmingham and London to name but a few destinations) and also to Liverpool South Parkway. That final station is my favourite as it normally means I'm then heading to John Lennon Airport off on my holibobs... The second reason I love St Michael's Station so much is that it's just so goddam adorable. With it's Victorian, red brick ticket office and well kept flower beds it feels like something straight out of an Enid Blyton book. It's the kind of station that makes you feel like you might be heading somewhere magical when you board that train... Platform 9 and 3/4 anyone?

The station is manned with one desk available to purchase tickets at. Sometimes this can be a problem as during rush hours there can be a long queue of commuters waiting to buy their tickets. The station lobby itself is small. It is usually clean and tidy and provides a nice view out onto the tracks. Within the lobby there is a vending machine selling snacks and drinks but these are a little overpriced. The 2 platforms are basic but are also clean, tidy and well maintained. On both sides of the track there are shelters provided which are very useful when the weather is bad. St Michael's station is basic but is well looked after, clean and tidy.

It's not often that you can say something good about British public transport, but this new…read morestation, opened in 2006, is one such place. Built to replace the former Allerton and Garston stations, the new station provides an interchange between Merseyrail's Northern Line, running from Hunt's Cross to Southport, with the Liverpool-Warrington-Manchester and Liverpool-Runcorn-Crewe lines, as well as providing a major bus interchange for Liverpool Airport and other local services, and parking for 240 cars (already fully used) and secure storage for motor-cycles and bicycles. The station is built on the sort of scale and quality we're not used to in Britain: the main building is bright and spacious, with a ticket office (for both bus and train services) and three disabled accessible toilets (token-operated, available from staff for free). The toilets are amazing, and talk to you while you are using them, telling you all about their features! The electronic timetable displays give details of bus and train departures, as well as flight arrivals and departures from the airport. The building itself is environmentally sensitive, with a rainwater harvesting system, geothermal heat-pumps for heating and photovoltaic cells to generate electricity. There are no shop units in the station yet, nor a buffet facility, though these are apparently planned. The station is fully accessible, with lots of lifts. My only gripe with the facilities is that there is no heated waiting room on the platform - it can get pretty chilly on a windy February day! The Northern line operates a 15-minute interval service on weekdays, half-hourly on Sunday. The Liverpool-Manchester service operates every 30 minutes, and that to Crewe and Birmingham every hour. Buses run to the airport and Liverpool City Centre every ten minutes. Unfortunately, neither the trains to London nor Norwich stop at the station - in the former case, frustratingly, because the platforms are too short. But overall, this is a real asset for south Liverpool, and is currently used by over 5,000 passengers a day.

It's a bus station, taxi-pick-up and drop-off point, free car park for rail users, refreshment stop and bicycle park; the list is exhaustive I know! On top of all that, with fast and frequent bus links to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, it's also a great place to start your holiday, all housed in an award winning, environmentally friendly building. If that's not enough, on Mondays to Fridays, it is believed that nearly 300 trains call there every day. This a top transport station in Liverpool. If you haven't used the station before, I would suggest taking a look inside and see how good Liverpool South Parkway really is.

It may not be the central station in town, however it could do with a makeover since it appears dull to say the least. It also has a lonely atmosphere as it has a long and wide stretch of tunnel. Especially if you're on your own during less peak times, it feels quite dodgy. In terms of finding your way around, it can sometimes be puzzling with the lack of sign-posting and assistance. It does feel as though you've been swallowed up in this subterranean world. Central station or James Street station would be a better bet, which are not so far in the city centre even if it means walking a few extra minutes.
