St Annes-on-the-Sea railway station serves the town of St Annes in Lancashire, England. It is located on the Blackpool South to Preston railway line 3¼ miles (5 km) south-southeast of Blackpool South.

The station opened in 1876, one year after the resort of St Annes had started to be built. It lost one of its platforms (although this is still visible) in 1986, when the line was reduced to single track. The station is staffed on a part-time basis.

It is currently served by the Northern Rail East Lancashire Line trains between Blackpool South and Colne.

ervices

Monday to Saturdays there is generally an hourly service westbound to Blackpool South and eastbound to Preston and beyond (Colne), although a couple of morning peak trains terminate here and return towards Preston (including the single daily service to Manchester Piccadilly).

On Sundays there is also an hourly service in each direction from mid-morning between May and the beginning of November. No service during the winter months.
