Heswall formerly Heswall Hills
(1898 - )
Heswall railway station is a railway station located on the eastern edge of the town of Heswall on the Wirral Peninsula on the Borderlands Line and was opened on May 1 1898 as
Heswall Hills, as there was previously another station serving Heswall, on the Birkenhead Railway's branch line from West Kirby to Hooton, that is now a footpath known as the Wirral Way. Heswall Hills was renamed as Heswall on May 7 1973
The station had an extensive goods yard with sidings to the south-west of the station, light freight operations ceased in 1960 but the yard was still used until October 10 1965. The goods yard and sidings were sold off for housing development in 1967
The station facilities are rudimentary and the station is unstaffed most of the time. Each of the two platforms has a waiting shelter with seating. There is a payphone, and live departure and arrival screens for passenger information, but no booking office. Wheelchair and pram access to the platforms is possible, via the access ramps
From Monday to Saturday, there is an hourly service between Bidston and Wrexham Central (two-hourly in the evening and on Bank Holidays)and there is an irregular service (6 trains per day each way) on Sundays. The frequency of trains on the line could increase to 2 trains per hour from December 2021
