I am rather shocked that National Rail have no way of searching for the nearest station to where you want to go...

Anybody know where the nearest station to Knowsley is? Presumably on some line between Manchester and Liverpool I guess?

I underestimated the power of google maps, its bloody clever... sorted now.


I am still rather shocked that you can 'find' a station on the National rail website, thats terrible!
