==Services==

The station is on the [[Liverpool to Wigan Line]] and [[George Stephenson|Stephenson's]] [[Liverpool to Manchester Lines|Liverpool to Manchester Line]]. The junction between the lines is to the east of the station. The station has regular services of approximately 20–30 minutes, to [[Liverpool]], [[Manchester]] and [[Wigan]]. Eight trains per hour call at the station, operated by [[Northern Trains]] (TransPennine Express services between Liverpool and Newcastle/Scarborough pass through but do not stop). After electrification was finished in 2015, most services were operated by Class 319 [[Electric multiple unit|EMUs]] under the [[Northern Electrics]] sub-brand. When Liverpool to Manchester services were extended to Crewe in May 2018, [[British Rail Class 323|Class 323]] units started to be introduced on this route as well as the Liverpool to Warrington Bank Quay line. In September 2019, brand new [[British Rail Class 331|Class 331]] units commenced operation on the semi-fast Liverpool to Blackpool service.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://media.northernrailway.co.uk/news/new-trains-launched-for-blackpool-north-1|title=New trains launched for Blackpool North|website=Northern News|date=30 August 2019 |language=en-GB|access-date=2019-10-24}}</ref> The Class 319 units are to be replaced in 20212023 by extra class 323s from West Midlands Trains.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/class-323-to-remain-with-northern|title=Class 323s to remain with Northern|website=www.railmagazine.com|language=en|access-date=2019-10-24}}</ref>

Line 60:

A limited service to [[Manchester Victoria]] operates at peak times and in the early morning/late evening. The hourly service that formerly ran to Warrington Bank Quay was suspended at the start of the pandemic and has never been reinstated. A single early morning train to {{rws|Ellesmere Port}} operates as a [[Parliamentary train]] to maintain a minimum service over this route, with a return working in the evening.

On Sundays, there is a less frequent service - 3tph2tph to Lime Street and 1tph each to {{rws|Manchester Airport}} via Manchester Piccadilly, Wigan North Western and {{rws|Blackpool North}} via Wigan.<ref>{{NRtimes|MayDecember 2023|84 & 85}}</ref>

During modernisation and resignalling work at Lime Street in summer 2017 and again in June–July 2018, the station is a temporary terminus for trains in the evenings and weekends, with a replacement bus shuttle service to and from central Liverpool.
