St Annes-on-the-Sea railway station serves the town of St Annes in Lancashire, England. It is located on the Blackpool South to Preston railway line 3¼ miles (5 km) south-southeast of Blackpool South.

The station opened in 1876, one year after the resort of St Annes had started to be built. Due to the rail restructuring of the 1960s and 1970s, St Annes lost one of its platforms although this is still visible. The station is staffed on a part-time basis.

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

[edit] Services

Monday to Saturdays there is generally an hourly service westbound to Blackpool South and eastbound to Preston and beyond (Colne). Sundays there is a two-hourly service in each direction.
