Birkenhead Central

Oh, public transport. I’m really not a fan. But Birkenhead Central is pretty quaint, and well, handy to land you in the middle of the area’s shops and restaurants, as it is situated on the South side.
Everything in Birkenhead is pretty much within walking distance of this train station and it has a snack facility offering you all you’d need to pick up for a journey. Trains operate all day, everyday, every fiften minutes in both directions.
The station has a friendly feel and is usually more handy than the next stop, Hamilton Square.
As well as this, in Winter, Birkenhead Central’s heated waiting room stops you from freezing!

As the name denotes, this station is fairly central to Birkenhead, so if you’re here for a day of shopping, to get your hair done, or even to spend a nice relaxing hour reading a book in Hamilton Square, you’re fairly close to everything with this train station
.
Sometimes it’s easier to get off at Hamilton Square, depending on where you are coming from, since you will only need one train to get to Birkenhead this way, but I still think this station is a nicer one. It also has a fairly sizeable snack bar, unlike Hamilton Square. Definitely a plus.
Within easy walking distance of the Grange Shopping Centre, Pyramid Shopping Centre, and the Birkenhead Market.

Birkenhead Central lies on the Liverpool-​Chester line and is the last stop before the railway plunges underground to cross the Mersey. Like most of the stations I’ve used in this area Birkenhead Central looks better from the outside. Inside it’s more than a little run down and in need of refurbishment. There is a small snack bar but otherwise it’s all a bit desolate.
On the plus side it is handily placed for the town centre, if you take a left just past Central Hotel and head past House of Fraser it’s only a five minute walk to the shops.
