Newton-le-Willows formerly Newton Bridge
(1845 - )
The station which opened in 1845 as Newton Bridge is situated on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830. The station was renamed Newton-le-Willows on June 14 1888
It is a busy feeder station for nearby towns which no longer have railway stations, such as Golborne, Billinge and Haydock. There is also a complimentary bus shuttle service to Haydock Park Racecourse on racedays
Merseytravel put forward proposals in December 2015 for the station to be developed as an interchange station and the proposals were later approved with the work scheduled to be completed by March 2018
Like most Merseytravel stations, it is staffed from start of service until the last train has left
There are also self-service ticket machines provided and shelters on both platforms, along with digital information screens and timetable poster boards. The platforms and booking office are not currently accessible for disabled passengers, but work to provide this is in progress
