One of two railway stations in Warrington - Warrington Bank Quay is managed by Avanti West Coast…read more(Formerly Virgin Trains) providing connections into London, it is also used by other operators including Transport For Wales and Northern. There seem to offer more long-distance trains than Warrington Central into Scotland and London, with other services going into Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, Leeds and Wales. It is in a sketchy part of town, so I wouldn't want to walk into the town centre in the dark, luckily you can get frequent buses outside the station which goes into the bus station, it only takes a couple of minutes but obviously, if you are able to travel into Warrington Central you wouldn't need to do that as it is across the way from the bus station, right in the town centre. There aren't many facilities at the station either - the platforms are sheltered but don't expect to stay warm and dry if you're waiting at the station, there isn't a great deal of shops/cafes nearby other than one independent, small newsagents I saw. Expect long waits for tickets too due to an understaffed ticket counter and very few ticket machines. I didn't notice any ticket barriers either, which for an Avanti station seemed strange. The station is clean, it looks better than Warrington Central and has some good services, but being slightly out of the way, I do prefer travelling into Warrington Central but Warrington Bank Quay isn't a bad alternative, especially if one wants to get into Manchester Victoria, rather than Piccadilly. 3*

This station drives me mad. A virgin trains hub that only has a tiny caféxpresshop. The only…read morehighlight is that the waiting room is really warm. But that is bad in the summer when it is unbearable.

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.

Last time I booked a car to Heathrow for which original charges were 30 GBP. The final amount…read moreincluded a car seat. However, first the driver was late (can be confirmed by call I made) and also he did not bring the car seat. Finally, driver upon reaching at airport said the fee is 35 pounds instead of 30. So I paid 10 pounds extra including for the car seat. Such a very very unpleasant situation !!!! No longer use them!!
