Acton Bridge railway station is near the village of Acton Bridge, Cheshire, in the northwest of England. The station, and all the trains that stop here, are operated by London Midland on their service between Liverpool - Crewe, Stafford and Birmingham. However, the majority of trains pass through the station without stopping.〔http://www.londonmidland.com/download/64291.5/liverpool-crewe-stafford-wolverhampton-birmingham/〕 Acton Bridge still does not have any trains on a Sunday which call, but trains still pass through non-stop on the West Coast Main Line towards both Liverpool and Preston. A near normal service operates on most bank holidays however. Services to London and Scotland do not stop at Acton Bridge but passengers for London can change at Crewe or Runcorn and passengers for Scotland can also change at Crewe or alternately travel westwards via Runcorn's mainline station, and then travel either by foot or bus over to Runcorn's East station and then get the train to Warrington Bank Quay or passengers can also travel to Warrington Central via a change at Liverpool South Parkway or passengers can also travel via a change at Liverpool Lime Street. 2,709 passengers are recorded as using the station in 2004-5.〔(: Office of Rail Regulation ) Retrieved 2012-01-13〕 The station is un-staffed; its gardens are maintained by volunteers from Acton Bridge Women's Institute, and won a Commendation in the 2003 JPD 'Best Kept Station' competition. In March 2015, a PERTIS self-service passenger-operated ticket machine remains in service here, and is located in the booking hall. ==History== The station opened as Acton by the Grand Junction Railway but was renamed Acton Bridge in 1870. After merging into the London and North Western Railway, the company became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Railways. Trains of the Intercity Sector passed on the West Coast Main Line. When British Rail was privatised Acton Bridge was served by Central Trains until 2007 and then served by London Midland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acton Bridge railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
