Broad Green railway station is situated in the Broadgreen district of Liverpool, England. It is the oldest used railway station in the world being a part of the original 1830 Liverpool and Manchester passenger railway.
The station is located very close to junction 4 of the M62 motorway but is not a "parkway" or "interchange" station. It has recently introduced a 'Park and Ride' scheme, with a large car park situated on the south side of the station. A number of local buses stop outside, and it is about five minutes walk to Broadgreen Hospital.
It is operated by Northern Rail, and is served by trains from Liverpool Lime Street to Wigan North Western, Manchester Victoria and Warrington Bank Quay. Trains to and from Liverpool Lime Street are every 15 minutes through most of the day.
About 100 metres to the east of the station the abandoned North Liverpool Extension Line passes under the lines, which is currently part of the Trans Pennine Trail.[1]
