Collins Green railway station was a railway station in Burtonwood, Warrington, England. It was in operation between 1830 and 1951.

Opening and location

The station was opened by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (L&MR) on 15 September 1830.^[1] The station lay on the L&MR's line between St Helens Junction and Earlestown stations.

It was situated in the hamlet of Collins Green, Lancashire (now in Cheshire), one mile (1.6 km) north of Burtonwood village. The station was located just east of the point where the railway line passed over Penkford Lane (B5204). A short access road linked to the main station building on the south side of the line.

Later history and operating companies

The L&MR was absorbed by the Grand Junction Railway on 8 August 1845 and this company became a major component of the London & North Western Railway (L&NWR) on 16 July 1846. ^[2] On 1 January 1923, the L&NWR was absorbed by the London Midland and Scottish Railway, which continued to operate the train services through the station.

Passenger train service

During July 1922, most eastbound L&NWR trains stopping at the station on weekdays were local services from St Helens Shaw Street station to Earlestown or Warrington Bank Quay station, but three were through trains from Liverpool Lime Street station to Manchester Exchange station. Three years after the L&MSR was nationalised within British Railways, Collins Green station was closed on 2 April 1951.^[1]
