The station is located just off the main road junction, on Speke road. Look for a pub, which is the old station building, as the car park is located near here.
There is a small car park in the station, but if this is full, you can park for a short while in the nearby Hunts Cross shopping centre, which is basically a small parade of shops.
Merseyrail runs every 15 minutes (30 minutes evenings and Sundays) from Southport and central Liverpool. If coming in from another station not on Merseyrail, if the train does not call at Hunts Cross but does call at Liverpool South Parkway, alight there, and then proceed to platform 5, the platform for the Merseyrail trains to Hunts Cross.
The station and surrounding area are well served by Arriva bus routes; indeed Arriva has a depot in nearby Speke. To get train and bus times, visit
Mersey Travel.
The station has a toilet on platform 2/3, which can be accessed by intercom. The local area has a pub and restaurant, as mentioned above. There is a small shopping parade as well. Come out the station, turn left, and then at the junction, left again. Among shops in the area is a branch of the Co-operative Food. A Shell petrol station, as well as a few banks, are all located in the area as well.
None in the immediate area. Try

The station is in a cutting, with a couple of overbridges. So views can be restricted, and the fact the station is in a cutting can also affect lighting.
There is little street noise to affect videos.
