Lea Green railway station is a railway station in St Helens, Merseyside, England, around three miles from the town centre near to the suburb of Clock Face. It is situated on the northern route of the Liverpool to Manchester Line (the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway). It is operated by Northern Rail.

The station, which opened in 2000, has a Park and Ride car park and a modern CCTV security system linked to a small booking office. A previous Lea Green station, which had closed decades earlier, was located a few hundred metres along the track. In fact, the present station's location would more accurately be described as Marshall's Cross.

[edit] Services

Northern Rail operate regular trains (every 30 minutes Monday-Saturday daytime) to Liverpool Lime Street. In the other direction, these trains run to Earlestown, from where one train per hour continues to Manchester Victoria and the other to Warrington Bank Quay.
