Rainford and St Helens Central


Both these locations are within the Merseytravel transport boundary, therefore included in the directory although Rainford is in South Lancashire. There is limited freight traffic and by co-incidence served by DB Cargo at both locations but there are now  regular 'stone' trains operated by GBRf, although they tend to operate MWFO or TTHO as required. 

Rainford (Junction) Station is on the Kirkby to Wigan line with a free limited car park next to the station also served by 'Northern' with a frequest service between both those stations. 

St Helens Central Station is on the Huyton Junction to Wigan North Western line with nearby pay at meter car parks, along with local amenities. Again, the station is served by 'Northern' with a half hourly service.
