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 normally a half hourly service. 'Trans Pennine Express' use the route for Glasgow trains as well as training runs too (usually Class 397 / 802).
Over recent weeks, DCR have begun operating a weekly sand train between Middleton and Ravenhead but currently operates on a STP notice with Saturday evening seems to be favoured inward train. Outward empties seems to be Tuesday. Please check RTT for further details. (Updated 30 May 2021)
