From the M56, junction 14:
Follow signposts for the A56 and head east along it towards Helsby (2 miles). The station is signposted down a small road on the left.

There is a station car park though this does get very full with commuters. Beyond the road to the station there is another small lane on the left by the Railway Inn leading to an over bridge and parking here is easy.

Helsby is served by the hourly Manchester to Llandudno trains and there is also a half hourly bus service along the A56 between Runcorn and Chester.

There are a few shops in the village and also two pubs.

Photos can be taken from both the station and the over bridge to the east. Shots of trains heading towards Chester can be a bit restricted and hazy sunshine can be preferred if the sun is not too high due to the trees. Early morning shots are best for trains heading towards Warrington, with the sun swinging round favouring the other direction by about 10am.
