Acton Bridge railway station is near the village of Acton Bridge, Cheshire, in the northwest of England. HistoryThe station opened as Acton by the Grand Junction Railway in 1837[1]{{rp|58}} but was renamed Acton Bridge in 1870. After merging into the London and North Western Railway, the company became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. In addition to its main line calls, the station also served as the terminus of a local service from Crewe via {{rws|Sandbach}} & {{rws|Northwich}} until 1942. This used a connecting curve that diverged from the main line just north of {{rws|Hartford}} to join the Cheshire Lines Committee line from {{rws|Altrincham}} to {{rws|Chester Northgate}} near {{rws|Greenbank}} (this remains in use, but for freight traffic only). When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Railways. Trains of the Intercity Sector passed on the West Coast Main Line. When British Rail was privatised Acton Bridge was served by Central Trains until 2007, then served by London Midland, now London Northwestern ServicesActon Bridge is served by London Northwestern trains running between {{stnlink|Birmingham New Street}} and {{stnlink|Liverpool Lime Street}}, although the service is infrequent. Currently there are around 10 trains a day in each direction, The service frequency can vary from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours depending on the time of day. Extra services call here at peak times, but at all other times there are large gaps in between trains. The majority of trains pass through the station without stopping.[2] Acton Bridge still does not have any trains on a Sunday which call, but trains still pass through non-stop on the West Coast Main Line towards both Liverpool and {{rws|Preston}}. A near normal service operates on most bank holidays. Services to London and Scotland do not stop at Acton Bridge but passengers for London can change at {{rws|Crewe}} or {{rws|Runcorn}} and passengers for Scotland can also change at Crewe. The station is un-staffed; its gardens are maintained by volunteers from Acton Bridge Women's Institute, and won a Commendation in the 2003 JPD 'Best Kept Station' competition. In March 2015, a PERTIS self-service passenger-operated ticket machine remains in service here, and is located in the booking hall. From December 2018, Acton Bridge will see at least 4 more services stopping per day, Monday to Saturday. A new Sunday service will also be introduced from May 2019.[3][4] {{rail start}}{{rail line|next=Runcorn|previous=Hartford|route=London Northwestern RailwayWest Coast Main Line |col={{LNW colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line|next={{rws|Preston Brook}}|previous={{rws|Hartford}}|route=London and North Western Railway Grand Junction Railway |col={{LNWR colour}}}}{{s-end}} GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite book |last=Drake |first=James |date=1838 |title=Drake’s Road Book of the Grand Junction Railway (1838) |url= |location= |publisher=Moorland Reprints |page= |isbn=0903485257}} 2. ^http://www.londonmidland.com/download/64291.5/liverpool-crewe-stafford-wolverhampton-birmingham/ 3. ^http://maps.dft.gov.uk/west-midlands/ 4. ^https://web.archive.org/web/20170821003343/http://maps.dft.gov.uk/west-midlands/
