Lea Green railway station is a railway station in St Helens, Merseyside, England, around three miles from the town centre near to the suburb of Clock Face. It is situated on the northern route of the Liverpool to Manchester Line (the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway). It is operated by Northern Rail. The station, which opened in 2000, has a Park and Ride car park and a modern CCTV security system linked to a small booking office.
A previous Lea Green station, which had closed decades earlier, was located a few hundred metres along the track. In fact, the present station's location would more accurately be described as Marshalls Cross. It is about 2 miles from Thatto Heath railway station which is on the Liverpool to Wigan Line.

Famous quotes containing the words green, railway and/or station:
“The body dies; the body’s beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
