Hartford railway station serves the village of Hartford, in Cheshire, England; the centre of the village is 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to the east, about 10–15 minutes walk away. It is situated on the A559 road, approximately two miles (3.2 km) west of the town of Northwich.
History
Hartford station was built by the Grand Junction Railway (GJR)[1]Template:Rp and opened in September 1837.[2] The GJR became a constituent of the newly formed London and North Western Railway on 16 July 1846,[3] which in turn was absorbed by the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMSR) in 1923.
The LMSR was nationalised within British Railways on 1 January 1948; the station and its train services were thereafter operated by the London Midland Region of BR.
The station buildings were greatly rationalised at the time of the West Coast electrification in the 1960s.
Facilities
The station is in a cutting, with steps down from the car park. There is a ramp for wheelchairs but it is very steep. The station is staffed; the ticket office is open from start of services until late afternoon during the week and on Saturdays, but limited on a Sunday. There are bus stops and a public phone box on the road.[4]
Greenbank railway station is about 1 mile (1.6 km) away, though nearer to Northwich, on the Mid-Cheshire Line from Chester to Manchester Piccadilly.
The station underwent an upgrade in spring 2011; it included new voice announcements, live arrivals and departure boards and new electronic systems.
Network Rail delivered more improvements to the station in summer 2014. These improvements ranged from replacing the station roof, resurfaced platforms and a new station footbridge. Step-free access is possible to both platforms via ramps from the nearby road.
Services
West Midlands Trains operates one train per hour in each direction: northbound to Liverpool Lime Street via Template:Rws and southbound to Birmingham New Street via Template:Rws, Template:Rws and Template:Rws.[5]
