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.

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.

Watching your broken down train trundle off to the depot abandoning you at the dreaded Sandhills…read morestation was once quite distressing. The station was bare, freezing cold, filthy and populated with local hoodies. Since the recent renovation however, the dreaded breakdown is a little more bearable. All the mod cons have been introduced: there are heated waiting rooms and CCTV, and lifts have been installed, so if you give up on trains you can nip down to the bus with relative ease. Unfortunately the hoodies have been reinstalled, but their entertaining antics are not so worrying given the new security system and frequent rail police presence. Sandhills is used as a rail junction, a crossroads between different rail lines: from here you can travel to Liverpool City Centre and on to Hunts Cross; Southport; Ormskirk or Kirkby. The station is also used on football match days with the local Soccerbus ferrying passengers to Goodison or Anfield Stadium

I agree 100% with the previous reviews. Sandhills Railway Station is now a lot more improved than…read moreit was a while ago, when the station felt cold, lonely and unsafe. It's a different story now as there are sheltered seating areas with plenty of CCTV to keep an eye out for the troublesome, so this does give you peace of mind. However, it's still always wise to keep your wits about you, as it still isn't the best of areas. There is not a bad view either when you're waiting as you can scan some Kirkdale scenery, not that it's anything to shout about but it's better than gazing at the ground or the railway track!

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.

Like most of the stations I've used in this area Birkenhead Central looks better from the outside. Inside it's more than a little run down and in need of refurbishment.

On the plus side it is handily placed for the town centre, if you take a left just past Central Hotel and head past House of Fraser it's only a five minute walk to the shops.

Sometimes it's easier to get off at Hamilton Square, depending on where you are coming from, since you will only need one train to get to Birkenhead this way, but I still think this station is a nicer one. It also has a fairly sizeable snack bar, unlike Hamilton Square. Definitely a plus. Within easy walking distance of the Grange Shopping Centre, Pyramid Shopping Centre, and the Birkenhead Market.
