Please note: methodology may vary year on year. Overpool railway station serves the central area of Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, England. It is situated on the Ellesmere Port branch of the Wirral Line, part of the Merseyrail network.
It became part of the Merseyrail network in 1994, when the branch from Hooton to Ellesmere Port was electrified, and through train services to Liverpool via Birkenhead commenced.
This is one of five Merseyrail stations that are unstaffed (the others being Little Sutton, Bache and Capenhurst; Ellesmere Port station is staffed part-time, weekdays only).
Passengers 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.
This station became part of the Merseyrail Penalty Fares Area on 15 June 2009.
Services
Overpool is served by trains every 30 minutes (all day every day, including Sundays) between Ellesmere Port and Liverpool.
