I've been using Warrington Central much more over the past week or so and the station is improving,…read moreespecially in terms of cleanliness and service. While it is an old and basic station, it is pretty nice for an old town and it's pretty easy to get in and out of the station quickly to continue on with your journey. Minimal facilities inside the station but with Warrington's Golden Square Centre being a couple of minutes away, as well as an ASDA nearby that, is helpful. If you're heading into Manchester/Liverpool, there seem to be more services which go from here rather than Bank Quay, including the fastest train into Manchester which goes from here to Piccadilly with East Midlands Railway. 3* - Decent station for a small town, pretty minimal but improving so that's a good thing.

Warrington Central is one of two major stations in Warrington (the other being Bank Quay), and is…read moreserved by trains on 'southern route' from Liverpool to Manchester. The line was opened in 1873 by the Cheshire Lines Committee, a venture formed by the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway and the Great Northern railway, joined by the Midland Railway. The line originally ran from Manchester Central to Liverpool Central via Garston, although services were concentrated on Piccadilly and Lime St stations respectively from the late 1960s. The station has two platforms, built on a viaduct: the original main station building on the north side, in an Italianate style of yellow stock brick with red and blue brick details, has been converted into commercial offices, and a new smaller building built on Winwick Street. The station's modern entrance houses a ticket office, small shop and coffee stand, leading via stairs (or newly-installed lifts) to the two platforms. These retain the attractive original retaining walls and their canopies, with decorated brackets, although the original wooden awnings have unfortunately been replaced by ugly corrugated steel versions. The Manchester-bound platform (1) has toilets and a waiting room, whereas the Liverpool platform (2) has only a modern glass waiting room. The station is served by three rail companies: Northern operate a half hourly Liverpool (Lime St) to Manchester (Piccadilly) service, some of which stop at all stations, with others semi-fast. TransPennine Express operate an hourly fast service to Liverpool westbound and Leeds via Manchester eastbound, some of which continue to York, Scarborough or Middlesbrough. East Midlands trains operate an hourly Liverpool to Norwich via Nottingham and Sheffield service, taking over 5 hours to Norwich! There is level access throughout, and Warrington's Bus Station (known as the 'Interchange') is a short walk away under the railway bridge.

St. Helens Central Railway Station is a railway station serving the town of St Helens, Merseyside…read more It is on the Liverpool to Wigan Line from Liverpool Lime Street to Wigan North Western. The station and all trains calling at it, are operated by Northern Rail. This station is so much better now it has been refurbished. It is St. Helens main station so it's quite facilitated and it's fairly attractive. It is staffed the majority of the time so there is usually someone on hand to answer questions or get directions. The staff are also very helpful so if you need assistance, make sure you enquire. There is a long stay and short stay car park. The long stay does fill up early but it is free. It is convenient to hop on a train to Liverpool or Wigan and during the day they are quite regular. Overall, a decent train station with a modern and secure feel to it.

Rubbish. My…read moregirlfriend and I often need to get to the train station or the airport (train station less than 10 mins from house). I now need to book 40 minutes before the train to stand a chance of ABBA turning up. It used to be bad, but they'd turn up within 10 mins of the time... but now, no matter how early I book (even hours or the day before for a morning taxi) they are, without fail, more than 20 mins late. I have topped using them and are trying out alternative firms. Just for completeness, we've missed numerous trains... and once when I rang up to ask what I was supposed to do about the train (when driver after 25 minutes hadn't arrived) the operator said "well I am not guaranteeing your taxi so we won't pay for it", and I've almost missed a flight, but luckily managed to run through and make it. Terrible service, terrible customer care. Warrington Council really should be doing something about regulating taxi firms in the area to stop ABBA from getting away with it.
