The reason why I like it is because it looks a whole lot different to Iarnród Eireann Irish Rail's Limerick junction (Gabhail luimnigh) and it has the same amount of Platforms as Grand Canal Dock station (Dug na canalach moire) in Dublin as Itself, Limerick junction (Gabhail Luimnigh) and Grand Canal Dock (Dug na Canalach Moire) are all terminal stations.
A perfectly situated station for those living nearby, though the access arrangements on the Lichfield side could definitely be improved - I don't like having to share the narrow roadway with cars jostling for position. Now that elevators are being installed, access for disabled passengers should be improved substantially. :)
Lichfield Trent Valley has improved over the last ten years, with the services on the line to London now being hourly during most of the day, a new station building, additional car park and lifts. The station building has toilets for male, female and mobility impaired customers. The ticket counter can be raised or lowered if necessary. There are ticket vending machines at the station; in the car park off Old Burton Road and by the steps up to platform 3. A covered cycle rack is in the car park by the station building. The station now has step-free access to all platforms after lifts were commissioned in June 2020. The car park adjacent to the station building isn’t in the best state (quite a few potholes) and the parking spaces fills up quickly on weekday mornings. This isn’t an issue in July 2020 thankfully! There are waiting shelters on all platforms, as well as customer information boards and loudspeaker announcements.
Very pleasurable stay
Well it does the job of providing interchange between the West coast mainline and cross city line not that well. The cross city platform lacks any form of step free access, either exiting or changing trains.
Main line trains aren't frequent, usually every hour and Cross City trains run every 30 minutes typically. Facilities are nothing special however the station has two large car parks on each side of the station which is nice. Not the best or the worst station either.
