Bryn railway station is a railway station serving the suburb of Bryn in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Greater Manchester, England. The station is situated on the electrified Liverpool–Wigan line 16+1⁄4 miles (26.2 km) northeast of Liverpool Lime Street and 3+3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) south of Wigan. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Trains.
The station is the only unstaffed one on the Huyton-to-Wigan line, being outside the Merseytravel area (but within that of Transport for Greater Manchester). Ticket machines have recently been installed on both platforms. The old station buildings shown in the caption have since been demolished and were replaced by basic waiting shelters.[1] Digital display screens and timetable poster boards on each side provide train running information. Step-free access is provided only on the Wigan-bound platform.[2]
Services
Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service to Wigan North Western northbound and Liverpool Lime Street southbound. Evenings there is an hourly service in each direction.[3]
From 10 December 2017 there has been an hourly service on Sundays, to Blackpool North northbound and Liverpool Lime Street southbound for the first time in many years.[4]
