Rainhill railway station serves the town of Rainhill, Merseyside, England. It is situated on the northern route of the Liverpool to Manchester Line, the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail.

Rainhill has an important place in railway history, as the location of the "Rainhill Trials" where the proposed designs of locomotive for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway were tested in competition.

ervices

Rainhill is served by Northern Rail services between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Victoria, every half hour during Monday to Saturday daytimes. Some trains continue beyond Manchester to destinations such as Stalybridge or Huddersfield, while some run to Warrington Bank Quay instead of Manchester. On Sundays, trains run once per hour between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Piccadilly (instead of Victoria), and continue to Manchester Airport.
