Southport Station: Where The Car Can Go
Southport station is on Chapel Street (PR8 1BE) and is managed by Merseyrail. National Rail lists a drop-off and pick-up point but no public parking spaces at the station itself, only five accessible ones. TransPennine Express's station guide describes that drop-off point as a combined one on the same side of the road as the station, with room for up to five vehicles.
The station is central, about an eight-minute walk from Lord Street, which is fine with a handbag and less fine with three suitcases and a pushchair. A pre-booked lift from your door to the drop-off point, or from the station back home, is the easy way round it. Check the station page on National Rail for the current layout before you travel.
The Big Stations We Run To
We serve these stations from our Southport base. The times are drive times in clear traffic, so allow extra in the rush hour.
- Liverpool Lime Street About 43 minutes
- Manchester Piccadilly About an hour
- Manchester Victoria About an hour
- Preston About 36 minutes
- Wigan Wallgate About 39 minutes
- Warrington Bank Quay About 50 minutes
National Rail lists a drop-off and pick-up point at Liverpool Lime Street, Liverpool Central, Manchester Piccadilly and Preston, so the goodbye at the station is quick. If the Liverpool trip is really for a ship, we also run a taxi to the Liverpool cruise terminal, and a lift to Liverpool John Lennon Airport is another run we do from Southport.
Why Southport To Liverpool Needs A Thought
Merseyrail's Southport trains run to Liverpool Central and do not call at Lime Street. Lime Street is a separate station, run by Network Rail, so a connection there means getting from one station to the other through the city centre streets with your bags.
A direct run from your door to Lime Street skips that change. It is about 43 minutes in normal traffic, and the group arrives at the drop-off point together with the luggage still in one place.
Early, Late And Luggage-Heavy Journeys
Trains are easy with a rucksack. They are harder with a week's luggage, a pushchair, an early departure or a group of six who all need the same service. A minibus with a large boot takes the cases, the conference seating keeps the group together, and the lift is booked for the time your train needs you at the station.
If you are coming home by train, put your train's arrival time in the return date and time box (the form was built for flights) and name the station in special requirements.
Catching a plane rather than a train is a different question, covered in our comparison of the taxi or train to Manchester Airport, and we run transfers to Manchester and Liverpool airports as well.
Groups And Pickups From Several Addresses
A family heading to a station from two houses, or a team who live in different parts of town, is a normal booking. One pickup and one drop-off are included, and each extra stop in the Southport area is £5.00, so everyone can be collected from or dropped at their own door.
There are eight seats in the minibus, and for more than eight a second 8-seater minibus or a car can be arranged on request. For trips beyond the station run, our group minibus hire and the 8 seater taxi from Southport cover the rest of what we do.
Local Drivers, Properly Checked
Every driver is DBS-checked and local to Southport and the North West, and Monahan Travel is fully licensed and insured. We are rated 5.0 on Google, and customers tend to mention punctual pickups and a spotless vehicle.
