Trains to Ellesmere Port - Station Details and further Information on Ellesmere Port Train Services
Ellesmere Port train station is located in the town of Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, England. It is one of the termini of the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network, and is also served by Northern Rail trains to Helsby and Warrington Bank Quay.
The ticket office is staffed by Merseyrail Monday to Friday between 06:05 and 14:00. There has been a recent experiment on Saturdays to see whether the station can justify being opened at the weekend. At other times, passengers can purchase tickets from the Ticket Vending Machine located on the platform. This machine can issue tickets to any destination on the rail network. Passengers failing to purchase a ticket will be liable for a Penalty Fare if they board a Merseyrail service without obtaining a valid ticket.
All Merseyrail services use platform 1, whilst the infrequent services eastwards to Helsby & Warrington use platform 2. Wirral Line services operate every 30 minutes each day (including Sunday) towards Birkenhead and Liverpool, with additional services operating in peak periods.
Northern Rail operates a limited rail service to Helsby via Ince & Elton and Stanlow & Thornton. There are two departures in the early morning and two in the early evening. There is no Sunday service. |
