A WIRRAL station was highly commended at this year’s National Rail Awards.

Hooton was recognised in the small station of the year category in the awards, which recognise excellence and achievement in the UK rail industry.

Councillor Mark Dowd, chairman of Merseytravel, said: “On behalf of Merseytravel and the travelling public of this region, we thank and congratulate our partners Merseyrail, Network Rail and Arriva Trains Wales for providing passengers with facilities that are continually recognised as being excellent examples of what customers need and expect.”
