A St Helens railway station has been described as "full of potential" despite being rarely used by commuters.
Newton-le-Willows station was the borough of St Helens' busiest station during 2021-2022, with 791,246 journeys. This figure dwarves the least used station in the borough, Rainford- which saw only 22,122 journeys in the same period.
Despite this, some commuters believe the railway station is "full of potential". Chris Lamb, who regularly uses the station on his commute to Manchester for work, told the ECHO : "It's got so much potential but lack of funding is holding the whole line back."
