Huyton formerly Huyton Lane Gate formerly Huyton Lane
(1830 - )


Huyton railway station serves the area of Huyton in Merseyside and was opened in September 1930

The station was originally named Huyton Lane Gate, then Huyton Lane by 1839, and finally as Huyton in 1852

Until the 1970s, Huyton station had four platforms, but the two platforms on the northern side of the station were closed and the track was lifted. However, the two tracks have been re-instated because of the electrification of the line

Huyton is staffed all day and is equipped with a booking office, a payphone and a vending machine. There is undercover seating on each platform, as well as customer help points and live departure and arrival screens. Recent improvements include lifts to the platforms and ramped walkways from the subway, to allow step-free access to the platforms for passengers with wheelchairs or prams

The station acts as an interchange between the Liverpool to Wigan Line and the northern route of the Liverpool to Manchester Line which diverge soon after the station
