St Helens Junction railway station is a railway station serving the town of St Helens, Merseyside, England. It is situated in Sutton, south of St.Helens town centre. The station is on the northern route of the Liverpool to Manchester Line 19 km (12 miles) east of Liverpool Lime Street (on the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway). The station, and all trains calling there, are operated by Northern Rail.
The station was named "Junction" because it is located at the junction of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway with the former St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway. This route closed in 1965, but the name remains.
ervices
On Monday to Saturday daytimes, there are three trains per hour in each direction. Trains head west to Liverpool Lime Street and east to one of Manchester Victoria, Manchester Airport or Warrington Bank Quay, with an hourly service to each. The service to Manchester Airport calls only at Newton-le-Willows on its way to Manchester, whilst many of the Manchester Victoria trains continue to either Stalybridge or Huddersfield. The frequency drops to hourly during the evening, when most eastbound trains run to Manchester Victoria.
Sundays see an hourly service in each direction to Liverpool and Manchester Airport, but no direct service to Manchester Victoria. The service to Manchester Airport does, however, stop at Manchester Piccadilly.
