Frodsham railway station serves the town of Frodsham, Cheshire, England. The station is managed by Arriva Trains Wales. The station building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
The station is unstaffed, however the North Cheshire Rail Users Group have "adopted" the station and work on a voluntary basis to keep the station looking clean and tidy.
The station is served by the hourly Arriva Trains Wales service to Manchester Piccadilly via Warrington Bank Quay. Certain trains are extended through to/from Manchester Airport. In the other direction services run to Chester, with most trains continuing along the North Wales Coast Line as far as Llandudno. On Sundays trains only run between Manchester and Chester.
Frodsham is also served by the infrequent (one train per day, now northbound only) Northern-operated service between Warrington B.Q and Ellesmere Port. This does not run on Sundays.
North of Frodsham station, a connecting line to Runcorn (the Halton Curve) diverges. This line is currently served by just one "parliamentary" passenger train a week (which operates on summer Saturdays only) to fulfil legal and contractual obligations and keep the line "open" in accordance with Government legislation. The curve lost its regular service in May 1975, but continued to be used by seasonal passenger trains between Liverpool Lime Street and Llandudno until 1994 (hence the summer-only service requirement). The train starts from Chester and runs non-stop to Runcorn, passing through Frodsham without calling.
