Bache
(1984 - )


It opened in January 1984 by British Rail in conjunction with a new supermarket being developed by Safeway (now Morrisons) on the site of the former railway coalyard

The modern station has two small covered waiting areas, information boards, CCTV and a footbridge. The platforms are made out of concrete slabs that are laid on brick piles. A remotely operated public address system was installed in January 2012 together with automatic train departure indicators

This station superseded Upton-by-Chester railway station which was sited 700 metres to the north. The relocation of the station produced an immediate and dramatic uplift in the number of passengers using it

Bache is one of four stations on the Merseyrail network that is unstaffed, Since Bache became part of the Merseyrail on June 15 2009, intending passengers must purchase rail from the ticket-vending machine, before boarding a train
