Trains to Widnes - Station Details and further Information on Widnes Train Services

Widnes train station (formerly known as Widnes North) is a train station in the town of Widnes, in the Halton unitary authority, in the county of Cheshire in the north west of England. It is a Grade II listed building. The station is operated by Northern Rail. The station is of the standard Cheshire Lines Committee style. A footbridge connects the two platforms. The station is staffed, but only until 14:00 . There is a car park outside.

There are generally two local trains (operated by Northern Rail) per hour in each direction, to Manchester Oxford Road to the east and Liverpool Lime Street to the west. Journey times from Widnes to Mancheter on these local trains are around 45-50 minutes, depending on the number of stops. Journey time to Liverpool is around 25-30 minutes, again depending on stops.

An express service also operates hourly in each direction (run by East Midlands Trains), continuing beyond Manchester Piccadilly towards Nottingham and East Anglia. The journey time on most of these trains to Manchester is 30 minutes, whilst Liverpool can be reached in 18 minutes.

However as the express trains run for such a long distance, Liverpool to Norwich in many cases, these services suffer from reliability problems. Passengers are often annoyed to find that the express train they are there to catch simply does not appear. The delay or cancellation of the train is often not announced outside of ticket office hours (06:00 to 14:00 Mon-Sat), as there is neither a working PA system nor information boards at the station. Services are less frequent in evenings and on Sundays.
