Carr Mill railway station

Carr Mill railway station was on the Lancashire Union Railway in the Carr Mill area of St Helens, England. It opened on 1 January 1896 and closed on 1 January 1917.[2] Proposals to construct a new station to serve the expanding population have been suggested by Merseytravel but funding has yet to arrive.[1] A new proposal to open a station was raised by Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram as part of his re-election plans in January 2020.[3] The proposal was again raised as part of his re-election plans in 2024, with the new railway station being a priority along with new stations at Daresbury and Woodchurch.[4]
