Warrington West is a railway station on theLiverpool–Manchester line. The station, situated 17 miles (27 km) east of Liverpool Lime Street, serves the civil parish ofGreat Sankey,Warrington inCheshire, England. It is owned byNetwork Rail and managed byNorthern Trains.
It is served by bus services and has parking for 287 cars.[1] The station is located west of Warrington on the existing southern Liverpool–Manchester line, betweenSankey for Penketh andWarrington Central.
Warrington Borough Council applied for funding from the Government'sNew Stations Fund[when?] but the bid failed.[2] However, the council secured part of the funding through other sources and a planning application was approved in 2015, and it was hoped that construction could begin in 2016, until Network Rail increased the estimated cost by £4 million. A fresh bid to the New Stations Fund was successful, and the station opened on 16 December 2019.[3][4]
