Bryn railway station is in Bryn, in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. It is the nearest station to Ashton-in-Makerfield. The station is situated on the electrified Liverpool to Wigan Line 16 1⁄4 miles (26.2 km) northeast of Liverpool Lime Street and 3 3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) south of Wigan. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.
The station is the only unstaffed one on the Huyton to Wigan line, being outside the Merseytravel area (but within that of Greater Manchester PTE). No ticketing facilities of any kind are provided, so passenger must buy in advance or from the conductor on the train. The old station buildings shown in the caption have since been demolished and replaced by basic waiting shelters. Digital display screens and timetable poster boards on each side provide train running information. Step-free access is provided only on the Wigan-bound platform.
Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service to Wigan North Western northbound and Liverpool Lime Street southbound. Evenings there is an hourly service in each direction.
There is no Sunday service.
The station was opened on 1 December 1869 by the Lancashire Union Railway on their route between St Helens and Blackburn.
The Liverpool to Manchester line electrification also encompasses the entire Liverpool to Wigan route. This allows electric trains to operate from Bryn to Liverpool, St Helens and Wigan. Electrification was completed in May 2015.
