UK Railways Portal

Shotton railway station serves the town of Shotton, Flintshire, Wales. It is situated where the Borderlands Line crosses the North Wales Coast Line. All passenger services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales, who manage the station. It is split into two sections: High Level (on the Borderlands Line) and Low level (on the North Wales Coast Line). Each section has two platforms, so there are four platforms altogether.

The high and low level tracks cross at right angles.

[edit] Shotton High Level

The high level of the station is on the Borderlands Line and consists of two platforms - 3 & 4. Services operate every 60 minutes (Monday-Saturday daytime) on the Borderlands line, between Wrexham Central and Bidston (where passengers can change for Liverpool) and infrequently on Sundays. To the north of the station on the Borderlands line is Hawarden Bridge over the River Dee.

[edit] Shotton Low Level

Trains operate approximately every hour on the North Wales Coast Line, usually between Manchester Piccadilly and Llandudno, although some trains may run from Crewe instead of Manchester, or continue to Holyhead instead of Llandudno. On Sundays, services are infrequent, and usually start from Crewe.
