Hough Green railway station is a railway station to the West of Widnes in Halton unitary authority in the north west of England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[1] The station is on the Liverpool-Warrington-Manchester Line 17 km (10½ miles) East of Liverpool Lime Street and all trains serving it are operated by Northern Rail.
Although the station is outside the metropolitan county of Merseyside, tickets issued by Merseytravel (which usually can only be used within Merseyside) are valid for travel to and from Hough Green.
The station is of the standard Cheshire Lines Committee style and, like other Merseyside stations, is staffed full time. There is a car park outside. Part of the station building is occupied by a Taxi firm.
The Eastbound platform features the original brick-built waiting room which is still in use.
The station was formerly a junction for a loop line via Widnes Central, closed in 1964.
