Swinton
(1887 - )
Swinton Station is one of the local stations that lie on the Manchester to Southport Line opening in June 1887
It has relatively basic facilities. The ticket office is only open until 12:50 on weekdays and 13:50 on Saturdays (closed Sundays) - after this time one must purchase tickets on
board the train. A screen in the booking hall lists live departure times of the trains showing any delays or cancellations,
and screens are also now installed in the centre of the island platform showing live train departure information to
commuters waiting on the platforms
Monday to Saturday daytimes, two trains per hour go southbound towards Manchester Victoria and two per hour towards Wigan Wallgate northbound.
Passengers for stations to Southport need to change at Wigan, as only a limited number run through on weekdays. On Sundays there are two trains per hour each way to Manchester Victoria & Wigan,
with hourly extensions to Southport
