Current Services
Hunts Cross is primarily served by Northern Rail services on the City Line between Liverpool Lime Street and Warrington Central and Manchester Oxford Road (one train per hour with additional services during peak hours), and Merseyrail Northern Line services from Southport via Liverpool Central (every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday, reducing to half-hourly on Sundays).
In addition, some peak-hour services operated by East Midlands Trains additionally stop here between Liverpool, Manchester and beyond.
Hunts Cross station currently has three operational platforms.
- Northern Rail services bound for Liverpool Lime Street (Merseyrail City Line).
- Northern Rail services bound for Warrington Central and Manchester Oxford Road (Merseyrail City Line).
- Merseyrail services bound for Liverpool Central and Southport (Merseyrail Northern Line).
The track serving platform 2 is also electrified and can be used by Merseyrail EMUs if the usual platform is blocked. This facility is used rarely, as any terminating train in this platform will block the through line towards Manchester, with potential delays to other services.
