Warrington Bank Quay 1st
(1837 - 1868)
The first Warrington Bank Quay was situated on the Grand Junction Railway (GJR) which opened on July 4 1837
It had a large two-storey building behind which were three platforms. The station had sidings and extensive goods facilities
The March 1850 timetable showed 8 up and 9 down trains Monday to Saturday. There were 4 trains in each direction on Sundays
On May 1 1854, the St Helens Canal & Railway Company (SHC&RC) opened an extension to its line from Garston into the centre of Warrington
The railway company did not want two stations in the town and wanted to make interchange between the two lines easier. The solution was to build a new station at the point where the two lines crossed on two levels. The new station was also called Warrington Bank Quay and it opened November 16 1868. The original station closed on the same day
After closure, the original Bank Quay station was demolished and its site was used for sidings. The station building survived as offices until the middle of the twentieth century but by 2014 the area on which it stood had become a retail store
