Copious details for the station at Newton-le-Willows are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-le-Willows_railway_station  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

NLW is very interesting rail wise. Not only is it on the 1830 Livrpool and Mancheater line it is also electrified. There is an odd bit of wire from Winnick Junction (North of Warrington) to NLW branching off North at Parkside West Juction (East of NLW) back to the WCML▸ (West Coast Main Line) at Goldbourne Junction. Presumably it was done when the wires were extended to Glasgow in 1974! A bit of BR▸ (British Rail(ways)) foresight to link with an electrified L&M which never happened. I've been round a couple of the junctions on a rail tour.

It was also the home of EE Vulcan Foundary, builders of the Deltics.

Sorry, but this doesn't help you get a cheap fare.
