Lostock Gralam railway station serves the village of Lostock Gralam in Cheshire, England. The station is on the Mid-Cheshire Line from Chester to Manchester Piccadilly, located 30 km (18½ miles) east of Chester.

For many years the station had a run-down appearance and had been downgraded to a request stop. The main station building was demolished on Sunday 8th July 2007. As a result of the "Lostock Triangle development", from Sunday 9th December 2007, the station was reinstated as a scheduled stop for two trains in the Monday to Saturday timetable. Other services stop by request.

[edit] Service

Monday to Saturday there is an hourly service westbound to Chester and eastbound to Manchester Piccadilly. On Sundays there are five trains per day to Chester and Altrincham with a Manchester Metrolink connection to the city, providing a service roughly every three hours.
