St Annes-on-the-Sea railway station serves the town of St Annes-on-the Sea, commonly known as St Annes, which is part of the conurbation of Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, England. It is located on the Blackpool South to Preston railway line Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). south-southeast of Blackpool South.

History

The station opened on 1 November 1873[2] when it was called Cross Slack.[3] It was renamed St Annes-on-the-Sea two years later.[3] The station lost its Up Side platform in 1986 (although this is still visible), when the line from Kirkham was reduced to single track (the line west of here had previously been singled in May 1982) and most of the station was demolished. A new, smaller building was erected to house a ticket office, staffed on a part-time basis, which was officially opened in September 1986 by the Area Passenger Manager.[4]

The station is currently served by the Northern East Lancashire Line trains between Blackpool South and Colne.

Services

Monday to Saturdays there is generally an hourly service westbound to Blackpool South and eastbound to Preston and beyond (to Blackburn and Colne). The one daily service from St Annes to Manchester Piccadilly was withdrawn at the end of the 2007–08 timetable.

On Sundays there is an hourly service in each direction from mid-morning between March and the beginning of November. No service during the winter months.[5]
