Capenhurst railway station serves the village of Capenhurst, in Cheshire, England. It lies on the Wirral Line 8 km (5¼ miles) north of Chester of the Merseyrail network, on the Chester branch. It has a modest car park and few passenger facilities. Both platforms offer level access, although to avoid the footbridge it is necessary to use the road bridge.
Passengers must purchase tickets from the Ticket Vending Machine located on the Chester-bound platform; the machine can issue tickets to any destination on the rail network. Passengers failing to purchase a ticket will be liable for a Penalty Fare if they board a Merseyrail service without obtaining a valid ticket. This station became part of the Merseyrail Penalty Fares Area on 15 June 2009.
Trains operate every 30 minutes every day (including Sunday) between Chester and Liverpool. The quarter-hourly service on the Chester line does not benefit Capenhurst since alternate trains run through the station non-stop between Hooton and Bache in each direction.
