Wavertree Technology Park railway station


Wavertree Technology Park railway station is in the suburbs of Liverpool, at the western end of Olive Mount cutting, on the original Liverpool-Manchester line. The station opened on 13 August 2000, at a cost of £2 million. Train services are operated by Northern Trains.
Since 5 March 2015, trains through the station have used overhead wire electric traction, as part of the electrification of George Stephenson's original Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the branch line to Wigan.

Facilities

The station has a ticket office that is staffed throughout the hours of service, seven days per week. Waiting shelters are provided at platform level on each side, with digital display screens, customer help points and an automated public address system to provide train running information. Both platforms have lifts from the footbridge, so are fully accessible for mobility-impaired users.

Services

There are four trains per hour in each direction and all services are operated by Northern Trains:

On Sundays, there are three trains per hour that call - one to Manchester Airport and, one to Wigan and one to Preston & Blackpool. The fast services to the Airport and regular locals to Victoria both ended at the May 2018 timetable change. This timetable change was also when TransPennine Express introduced Liverpool-North East services, which run via Manchester Victoria. These pass through the station without stopping.
