A heritage station serving the heart of the village and surrounding countryside
Helsby Station connects this Cheshire village with key destinations across the North West and North Wales. Positioned on both the Chester to Warrington line and the Hooton to Helsby branch, it plays an important role in the local rail network, serving commuters and leisure travellers alike. The Grade II listed station building reflects Helsby’s proud rail history and, together with its attractive gardens, offers great potential for future community projects and engagement.
Most services are operated by Transport for Wales, with hourly trains running between Chester and Manchester Airport, as well as Chester and Liverpool Lime Street. Combined, these routes provide an off-peak frequency of two trains per hour in each direction. Northern Trains also operate limited peak-time services, connecting passengers to Leeds via Manchester Victoria and to Ellesmere Port.
