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.

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.

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 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.

As it is so open it can be a little chilly at times, but there are a couple of shelters which can be used to get out of the elements. The station is clean and tidy and seems to be well maintained. The train information is displayed clearly and the information and timetables are available on the platform as well as at the entrance below. Like many stations on the northern line is doesn't have a shop or toilets but the shopping centre is only a stones throw away.

This is your port of call for the shopping centre, but other than that there's not much reason to stop off here. (Unless of course you live here.)

It's basically sat in the middle of a load of estates and I nearly always manage to get lost en route to there when I'm getting the train back home. Location issues aside, Blundellsands is a fairly pleasant station these days. It has recently undergone a small refurbishment which included the installation of indoor seating areas, ideal for those chilly winter nights when you're waiting for the last train and you're looking to avoid the drunken old man who is just dying to tell you his life story and what life choices you should make. With the recent refurbishment also came the electronic boards that inform you how long a wait you have before the next train (can you even remember a time when we didn't have them? It seems positively prehistoric to think of a time when you had to guess whether you'd just missed a train or not) and the little kiosk just outside is a good place to stop off for a drink or snack if you're stuck waiting for a while.

The lines leads from Southport to Hunts Cross and while there are no direct intercity links, the destinations include major links such as Sandhills for connections to Ormskirk and Kirkby, Liverpool Central for connections to Lime Street and the Wirral Line and connecting trains to Preston and Blackpool can be caught from Southport. Blundellsands has recently undergone quite extensive renovation with the original waiting rooms being heated, new cycle storage, a customer toilet and a vast overhaul of the parking facilities, which are free to use. There is one automated ticket machine, a payphone and a small kiosk with all the essentials. My only criticism of Blundellsands Station is the disabled facilities, while there is a ramped subway enabling access of prams and cycles, I don't feel this is good enough for disabled customers. My grandmother s wheelchair bound and finds the ramp far to steep to navigate; when using the train we are forced to continue to the next station whose two railway lines are separated by the platform, change trains and come back again! Considering the number of retirement and nursing homes surrounding Blundellsands this inability to access the station is absurd. The staff at Blundellsands are invariably pleasant and sociable, they have worked at this station for years and always remember a face.!
