History

The Liverpool and Bury Railway (L&BR) was authorised in 1845,Шаблон:Sfn but while it was under construction, the L&BR amalgamated with the Manchester and Leeds Railway (M&LR) in 1846,Шаблон:Sfn and the M&LR in turn was renamed the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1847.Шаблон:Sfn The line opened on 20 November 1848;Шаблон:Sfn one of the original stations was Simonswood.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This station was renamed twice: it had become Aintree by 1850,Шаблон:Sfn and in March 1860 it took its present name FazakerleyШаблон:Sfn to avoid confusion with the nearby Шаблон:Stnlnk station on a different line,Шаблон:Sfn which had opened in 1849.Шаблон:Sfn

At the time of opening, the mileage of the station was Шаблон:Convert from Bury,Шаблон:Sfn but this has since been amended to Шаблон:Convert from Шаблон:Stnlnk via Wigan.Шаблон:Sfn

To the north-east of the station is Fazakerley Junction, Шаблон:Convert from Manchester Victoria,Шаблон:Sfn which is where the North Mersey Branch once headed westwards towards Шаблон:Stnlnk.Шаблон:Sfn The branch has closed, but the junction remains as the point where the double track out of Liverpool becomes single track for the last few miles into Шаблон:Stnlnk.Шаблон:Sfn The line eastwards was singled in May 1970, though through running beyond Kirkby (to Wigan Wallgate and Шаблон:Rws) continued until the inauguration of electric operation in May 1977.[1]

Facilities

In common with most Merseyrail stations, it is staffed throughout the day - the street-level ticket office opens 15 minutes prior to start of service and closes at 00:25 each evening (including Sundays). At platform level, there are digital display screens, timetable posters and shelters on each side; a P.A system also provides automated train running information. The ticket office is linked to the platforms via a footbridge - this has a lift installed on each side to provide step-free access. There are cycle racks for 4 cycles and secure cycle storage for 20 cycles.[2]

Services

The station is currently served by Three trains per hour in each direction in the day time, Monday - Saturday. In Late evenings and Sundays services are reduced to Two trains per hour in each direction. Services are operated using Шаблон:Brc EMUs.[3][4]

In the future, the service will be increased to up to four trains per hour in each direction as more battery operated Class 777 trains become available.[5]
