Sankey used to get a regular service (hourly) before W.West was built. W.West was built to serve a new housing development and is in the catchment of more people! W.West is only 15 min walk from Sankey.

Class 150 at Warrington West - this train is 34 years older than the station it was at! Quite impressive.

Went to the pretty interesting station of Sankey for Penketh on Friday. A station which was de facto replaced by the nearby Warrington West in 2019, but still receives a skeleton 4 trains a day service!
Having visited at noon on a Friday, it was pretty desolate. Expect a video soon on the topic 👀
