Huyton railway station serves Huyton in Merseyside, England. The station is an interchange between the Liverpool-Wigan Line and the northern route of the Liverpool-Manchester Line which diverge soon after the station. It is one of the busier stations on the lines and close to the shopping centre and bus station. HistoryHuyton station was opened in 1830 on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway,[1] and is one of the oldest passenger railway stations in the world. The early intermediate stations were little more than halts, usually where the railway was crossed by a road or turnpike.[2] This probably accounts for variations in their names,[3] Huyton station was probably known as Huyton Lane Gate, then as Huyton Lane by 1839, and Huyton around 1852.[3] The oldest surviving station buildings are from the LNWR period.[4] Until the 1970s, Huyton station had four platforms, but two on the northern side of the station (Platforms 3 and 4) were closed, and the track lifted. 2010 modernisationAlmost £1 million was spent modernising the station in 2010. The works include a canopy on Platform 1, a waiting shelter on Platform 2 and a disability compliant toilet was installed. Improvements included updating the subway to provide better lighting, state-of-the-art CCTV and new seating areas.[5] Liverpool to Manchester electrificationIn the Liverpool-Manchester Line electrification scheme, Platform 3 was brought back into use in time for the December 2014 timetable change.[6] The station signal box, which controlled the line between Roby and Rainhill (Earlestown line)/Prescot (Wigan line), was closed and demolished in the associated resignalling scheme. The last few semaphore signals that it controlled were removed in September 2012. Electrification has been in place since March 2015. Platform 4 was re-instated,[6] in the improvements connected with the Liverpool to Manchester and Wigan electrification. FutureFrom May 2019, the northern rail franchisee Arriva Rail North - operating under the brand 'Northern' - will run through trains from here to {{rws|Leeds}} via Manchester and {{rws|Bradford Interchange}}.[7] FacilitiesHuyton is staffed and open for approximately 18 hours a day and has a booking office, a payphone and a vending machine. There is undercover seating on each platform, customer help points and live departure and arrival screens. Recent improvements include lifts to the platforms and ramped walkways[8] from the subway, to allow step-free access to the platforms for passengers with wheelchairs or prams. Portable ramps are available to access trains.[9] The station is close to Huyton bus station and shopping centre.[10] The station has a car park, taxi rank and cycle racks.[11] ServicesThe station is on the Liverpool to Wigan Line and Stephenson's Liverpool to Manchester Line. The junction between the lines is to the east of the station. The station has regular services of approximately 20–30 minutes, to Liverpool, Manchester and Wigan. Ten trains per hour call at the station, operated by Northern or its subsidiary Northern Electrics. (TransPennine express services between Liverpool and Newcastle upon Tyne/Scarborough pass through but do not stop.)
A limited service to Manchester Victoria operates at peak times and in the early morning/late evening. On Sundays, there is a less frequent service - 3tph to Lime Street and 1tph each to {{rws|Manchester Airport}} via Manchester Piccadilly, Wigan North Western and {{rws|Blackpool North}} via Wigan.[12] During modernisation and resignalling work at Lime Street in summer 2017 and again in June-July 2018, the station is a temporary terminus for trains in the evenings and weekends, with a replacement bus shuttle service to and from central Liverpool.
