Railway stations in St Helens ranked by delayed services over 6 months

The consistent railway strikes have made it difficult for people, who are dependent on trains, to not be able to get to their chosen destination, whether for work, leisure, or seeing loved ones. With more strikes planned in 2024 the disruption isn't likely to end soon.

Due to this, ePowerTrucks and Online Marketing Surgery have created a Train Station Report, which has ranked railway stations by the percentage of delayed services.
