Delamere railway station opened on 22 June 1870. It serves both the village of Delamere and Delamere Forest in Cheshire, England. The station is 9½ miles (15 km) east of Chester on the Mid-Cheshire Line.
There is an hourly service each way between Chester and Manchester in each direction. The station marks one end of the Baker Way footpath.
The station is unmanned. Passengers must board the train and present a valid ticket or pay the fare. Railcard fares are accepted. The old station buildings are now privately owned and have been adapted for use as the 'Station House' cafe. Waiting shelters and timetable information poster boards are provided on each platform - train running information is also available via a public telephone. Step-free access is available to both platforms.
The station was used as a location in an episode of the popular UK TV series 'Survivors'.
