This is a nice little station. Maybe the fact that I love the name Blundellsands and Crosby has…read moresomething to do with, but I really do like this station. 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.

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.

It's an old, old station, and apparently part of the original 1800's train line that ran through Liverpool and the surrounding cities. If for no other reason, I guess that merits a visit. There's not really much here, but as I love collecting train stations (along with parks, libraries, and book shops), I guess I kind of enjoyed the quiet charm. You won't find any toilets, shops, or café here.

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.

And there's even a railway cat!
