Runcorn

Runcorn is based in Halton, Cheshire in North West England. It is situated on the south bank of the River Mersey between Liverpool and Manchester. Best known for its three bridges across the River Mersey, it is the gateway north to Liverpool and south to Cheshire.

Runcorn Halal Travel Guide

Originally a small village at a strategic crossing point on the River Mersey, Runcorn grew rapidly eastward since it was designated a New Town in the 1960s, swallowing neighbouring settlements. This has created a town of contrast, where the very old sits right alongside the very new. It has also created a very green town as large parks and open spaces were added in the New Town masterplan. Due to its location on the narrowest point of the River Mersey estuary, three bridges have sprung up here: the Silver Jubilee Bridge, Runcorn Railway Bridge and the Mersey Gateway. Although historically part of Cheshire, today it forms the southeastern gateway to the Liverpool City Region.

Use Platform 1 for Manchester Piccadilly and Platform 2 for Chester and Llandudno. Trains to Manchester Piccadilly take around 45 minutes, to Chester take 30 minutes, and to Llandudno take an hour and thirty minutes.

By car

Runcorn is well connected to the motorway network. To the south is the nearby M56 motorway to Manchester, Chester and North Wales. The M6 lies to the east and the M62 is to the north in the neighbouring town of Widnes.

Beware though; the two road bridges across the Mersey for Liverpool are both tolled. There are no toll booths but you must pay the toll to Merseyflow online by midnight the following day or face a £40 penalty.

Travel on a Bus in Runcorn

There are good bus connections with neighbouring cities and towns, including Liverpool, Chester, Widnes, Frodsham and Warrington.

Two operators serve the town; Arriva and Halton Transport.

There are two main bus interchanges. One is in Runcorn Old Town near Runcorn train station and the other at Runcorn Shopping City.

By canal boat

The town has two canals. The Manchester Ship Canal is not open to non-commercial traffic, but the Bridgewater Canal is open to public use and is popular with pleasure boaters. The Bridgewater Canal ends in Runcorn Old Town but there are plans to reopen the flight of locks to connect the Bridgewater Canal with the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Weaver Navigation, creating a second Cheshire ring.

There are two canal boat docks in Runcorn. Waterloo Junction is the main dock in Runcorn Old Town. The second dock is privately owned and is located further west. It can be visited from Halton Road. Bridgewater Motor Boat Club is based in Runcorn and can give advice on moorings in the town.

Travel on a Bus in Runcorn

When Runcorn New Town was built, a system of dedicated busways was constructed, completely seperate from the road network. This makes getting around by bus fast and easy.

Two operators serve the town; Arriva and Halton Transport.

There are two main bus interchanges. One is in Runcorn Old Town near Runcorn train station and the other at Runcorn Shopping City.

By car

Getting around Runcorn by vehicle is easy using the high-speed dual carriageway system which surrounds the town in a figure of 8. Each area of the town has its own junction. The network is so well designed that traffic congestion is unheard of.

By foot or bicycle

Runcorn is spread out but walking and cycling in Runcorn can be a real pleasure. Because Runcorn is a planned New Town, it was designed so that pedestrians and vehicles are kept totally seperate.

The Bridgewater Canal forms a lovely walk from east to west. In fact, you can walk all the way from Runcorn train station to Runcorn East station just following the canal towpath, though it is a fair distance. Town Park in the east forms a pedestrian link between all the communities in that area. It links to Runcorn Shopping City by raised walkways meaning you never have to cross a busy road.

Wigg Island is a popular cycle route. The route is not open to cars and you can cycle all the way to neighbouring Warrington following the Manchester Ship Canal. Many people cycle a loop starting from Wigg Island, to Warrington, across the River Mersey, follow the Mersey back along Spike Island in Widnes, cross the Silver Jubilee Bridge and back to Wigg Island.

Stay Safe

Runcorn is generally safe during the day. As in most town centres and the Old Town can attract drunken behaviour at night, particularly at weekends which sometimes leads to violence. Some areas have high levels of poverty and bad reputations for crime, including parts of Halton Lodge, Halton Brook, Palace Fields, Castlefields and Murdishaw. More affluent and safer areas include the Heath, Weston, Beechwood, Sandymoor and Norton.

The local police force is Cheshire Constabulary and Runcorn Police Station is adjacent to the Shopping City. Call 101 for non-emergencies and 999 for emergencies.
