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?

St Michael's station is situated about 10 minutes walk from the main road and busy Lark Lane area…read more It is a small station, quite old fashioned in its appearance. 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.

Once you've been to Liverpool South Parkway, most will surely agree that it is more than just a…read moretrain station. 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.
