You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Hunts Cross railway station''' is a Grade II listed [[railway station]] in [[Hunt's Cross]],  [[Liverpool]], England. It is situated on the southern branch of the [[City Line (Merseytravel)|Merseytravel City Line]]'s [[Liverpool to Manchester Line|Liverpool to Manchester]] route, and is the southern terminus of [[Merseyrail]]'s [[Northern Line (Merseyrail)|Northern Line]].

==History==
Originally built by the [[Cheshire Lines Committee]] and opened in May 1874,<ref>((cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=125 ))</ref> Hunts Cross was the only four-platform station on the line running between [[Liverpool Central railway station|Liverpool Central]] and [[Manchester Central railway station|Manchester Central]] stations. It was also a junction at the southern end of the [[North Liverpool Extension Line]] to [[Gateacre railway station|Gateacre]], [[West Derby]], north [[Port of Liverpool|Liverpool docks]] and [[Southport]]. This line was closed in stages from 1952 to 1979 and is now part of [[National Cycle Network]] Route 62, the [[Trans Pennine Trail]]. The closure of the North Liverpool route left Hunts Cross to be served by the local service from [[Liverpool Lime Street railway station|Liverpool Lime Street]] to [[Warrington]] and [[Manchester]].

In 1983, Merseyrail's electrified Northern Line from [[Liverpool Central railway station|Liverpool Central]] was extended to Hunts Cross from its previous terminus at [[Garston (Merseyside) railway station|Garston]]. One of the former Gateacre line platforms was reinstated as a bay platform for terminating electric services. Northern Line trains originally ran through to [[Kirkby railway station|Kirkby]], but in 1984 the timetable was altered and trains continued to [[Southport railway station|Southport]] instead. The station underwent a £900,000 facelift in 1995, with the improved facilities reopening on 10 May.<ref>((cite journal|editor-first=James|editor-last=Abbott|title=Three new stations in summer timetable|journal=[[Modern Railways]]|date=July 1995|volume=52|number=562|page=388))</ref>

When the Merseyrail service was introduced, the service from [[Liverpool Lime Street railway station|Liverpool Lime Street]] to Manchester was cut back to terminate at Hunts Cross. Passengers from Manchester wishing to continue to Liverpool had to change to a Merseyrail train. This arrangement was short-lived and ended in 1989 when the through trains to Lime Street were restored.

From 11 June 2006, the number of Manchester-bound trains stopping at Hunts Cross was reduced from two trains per hour to one. However, during morning and evening peaks the half-hourly frequency is still maintained.

From 11 December 2006, the Monday-Saturday evening Northern Line service was increased to run every 15 minutes. Previously, services had reduced to a half-hourly frequency after 7.30pm.

In the May 2013 'Network News' section of the Northern Line timetable, it was announced that Hunts Cross would shortly receive funding in order to develop improvement schemes at the station.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/timetables/train-timetables/Documents/Northern%20Line%20from%2019%20May%20to%207%20December%202013.pdf |title=Merseyrail Northern Line Timetable May 2013 |publisher=Merseytravel |access-date=2013-08-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130908060343/http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/timetables/train-timetables/Documents/Northern%20Line%20from%2019%20May%20to%207%20December%202013.pdf |archive-date=2013-09-08 ))</ref>

==Facilities==
The station is in a cutting and is fully accessible by the addition of lifts to the platforms, opened in 2022.<ref>[http://www.merseyrail.org/plan-your-journey/stations/hunts-cross.aspx Plan Your Journey - Hunts Cross station] ''Merseytravel''; Retrieved 12 December 2016</ref> A building on the Southport/Manchester-bound (island) platform (platforms 2&3) contains an accessible toilet and a waiting room. The former main station building has been converted into a bar/restaurant and has been replaced by a modern ticket office (which is staffed throughout the day until end of service, seven days a week). A small car park is available, and bus stops are nearby.  Train running information is offered via digital display screens and automated announcements.

==Services==
[[File:142031 Hunts Cross.jpg|right|thumb|[[Northern Rail]] unit 142031 in Platform 2 on a Manchester Oxford Road service.]]

Hunts Cross is served by diesel [[Northern Trains]] services on the City Line between [[Liverpool Lime Street railway station|Liverpool Lime Street]] and [[Warrington Central railway station|Warrington Central]].  This service has one train per hour with additional calls during peak hours.<ref>GB eNRT May 2023 Edition, Table 86 (Network Rail)</ref> Merseyrail electric Northern Line services operate from [[Southport railway station|Southport]] via [[Liverpool Central railway station|Liverpool Central]] every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday, reducing to half-hourly on Sundays.<ref>GB eNRT 2023 Edition, Table 82 (Network Rail)</ref>

In addition, a limited number of peak-hour services operated by [[East Midlands Railway]] stop here between Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham/Norwich.

Hunts Cross station currently has three operational platforms. 
#[[Northern Trains]] and [[East Midlands Railway]] services bound for Liverpool Lime Street (Liverpool to Manchester Line).
#[[Northern Trains]] services bound for [[Warrington Central railway station|Warrington Central]] and [[Manchester Oxford Road railway station|Manchester Oxford Road]] (Liverpool to Manchester Line).
#[[Merseyrail]] services bound for [[Liverpool Central railway station|Liverpool Central]] and [[Southport railway station|Southport]] (Merseyrail Northern Line).

The track serving platform 2 is also electrified and can be used by Merseyrail EMUs if the usual platform is blocked. This facility is used rarely, as any terminating train in this platform will block the through line towards Manchester, with potential delays to other services.
