Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Refimprove Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Frodsham railway station serves the town of Frodsham, Cheshire, England. The station is managed by Transport for Wales. It was opened along with the line in 1850 and the station building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] This was restored in 2012 and is in private ownership.

The station is unstaffed, however the North Cheshire Rail Users Group have "adopted" the station and work on a voluntary basis to keep it looking clean and tidy.[2]

Facilities

Although unstaffed (as noted), the station has a self-service ticket machine (card payments only) to allow intending passengers to buy before boarding or to collect pre-paid tickets. Train running information is provided by CIS displays, timetable posters and a pay phone. Waiting shelters are also provided on both sides. Step-free access is available to both platforms, although the footbridge between them has stairs.[3]

Services

Most services at Frodsham are operated by Transport for Wales, with a limited service operated by Northern Trains.

These services combine to give an off-peak service of two trains per hour in each direction.[4][5]

The station is also served by a limited peak hour Northern Trains service between Chester and Шаблон:Stnlnk with four trains per day to Chester and five trains per day to Leeds via Шаблон:Stnlnk.[4]

Expansion of services

Northern's planned Leeds–Manchester Victoria–Chester service stops here since its launch in May 2019, though only at weekday peak times in the current (May 2019) timetable.

Halton curve

North of Frodsham station, a connecting line to Runcorn (the Halton Curve) diverges. This line was, until September 2018, served by just one "parliamentary" passenger train a week (which operated on summer Saturdays only) to fulfil legal and contractual obligations and keep the line "open" in accordance with Government legislation. The curve had lost its regular service in May 1975, but continued to be used by seasonal passenger trains between Liverpool Lime Street and Llandudno until 1994 (hence the summer-only service requirement). The train started from Chester and ran non-stop to Runcorn, passing through Frodsham without calling.

In May 2019 regular service was reintroduced between Liverpool Lime Street and Chester, via Runcorn, with one train per hour every day. Transport for Wales Rail also run two trains a day from Wrexham General to Liverpool Lime Street with one in the opposite direction. These services were originally planned to start in December 2018; however, this was delayed due to a shortage of available rolling stock.
