The station was on the central section[2][3] of the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway which was later absorbed by the London and North Western Railway.[4] HistoryThe station first appeared on public timetables in 1852[5] and closed completely on 18 June 1951, when passenger trains were withdrawn between Widnes and St Helens.[6][7] ServicesTwo services called at Sutton Oak: St Helens Central to Ditton Junction via Widnes South - The Ditton Dodgerand St Helens to St Helens Junction, often continuing to Warrington Bank QuayIn 1922 nine "Down" (northbound) Ditton Junction trains a day called at Sutton Oak, 'One class only' (i.e. 3rd Class) and 'Week Days Only' (i.e. not Sundays). The "Up" service was similar. Some of these travelled beyond Ditton Junction to Runcorn or Liverpool Lime Street.[8] In 1951 the Ditton Junction service was sparser but more complex. Six trains called in each direction, Monday to Friday, the early morning ones providing both 1st and 3rd Class accommodation. On Saturdays four trains called in each direction, 3rd Class only. No trains called on Sundays.[9] In 1922 no fewer than twentyone St Helens Junction trains called in each direction, Monday to Saturday, with three on Sundays.[10] This level of service was maintained or even increased into the 1930s, but was cut back during WW2. After the war the St Helens Junction services were restored to earlier levels. For example, in the early 1960s there were thirty-three trains in each direction. From 1951, however, these trains passed the closed Sutton Oak. Intensive though this service was, it was listed in The Beeching Report for withdrawal and it ended on 14 June 1965.[11] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line one to two|previous={{stnlnk|Peasley Cross}} Line and station closed |next1={{stnlnk|Clock Face}} Line and station closed |next2={{stnlnk|Robins Lane Halt}} Line and station closed |route1=London and North Western Railway St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway |route2=London and North Western Railway |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} ReferencesNotes1. ^{{Harvnb|Pixton|1996|p=68}} 2. ^Engineers' Line Reference SHS1 via railwaycodes 3. ^{{Harvnb|Smith|Turner|2012|loc=Map 45}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/sutton_oak/index.shtml |title=Station Name: SUTTON OAK|author=Paul Wright |date=20 April 2010 |work=Disused Stations |publisher= |accessdate=22 September 2015}} 5. ^A detailed history via Disused Stations UK 6. ^A detailed history via Disused Stations UK 7. ^{{Harvnb|Pixton|1996|p=68}} 8. ^{{Harvnb|Bradshaw|1922|p=495}} 9. ^{{Harvnb|Pixton|1996|p=86}} 10. ^{{Harvnb|Bradshaw|1922|p=502}} 11. ^A detailed history via Disused Stations UK Sources
