Rainhill
The Rainhill Locomotive Trials of 1829 are so embedded in railway history that it is surprising to learn that Rainhill station was known as Kendricks Cross until 1843. It makes the most of its heritage now though and there are numerous display boards and plaques marking its significance. The station building itself, with its distinctive awning, dates from 1870 and is still staffed. A Manchester bound Pacer calls on a Northern stopping service from Liverpool.
