Wavertree Technology Park railway station is in the suburbs of Liverpool, at the western end of Olive Mount cutting, on the original Liverpool-Manchester line. The station opened on 13 August 2000,^[1] at a cost of £2 million. Train services are operated by Northern Trains.

Since 5 March 2015, trains through the station have used overhead wire electric traction,^[2] as part of the electrification of George Stephenson's original Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the branch line to Wigan.

The station has a ticket office (located on the bridge above the platforms) that is staffed throughout the hours of service, seven days per week (05:15 - midnight Monday to Saturday, 08:00 - 23:45 Sunday). Waiting shelters are provided at platform level on each side, with digital display screens, customer help points and an automated public address system to provide train running information. Both platforms have lifts from the footbridge (which has ramped access from the main entrance and car park), so are fully accessible for mobility-impaired users.^[3]

There are three trains per hour in each direction Monday to Saturday, with two on Sunday. All services are operated by Northern Trains:^[4]

• 1tph to Manchester Airport via Manchester Piccadilly (extended to Wilmslow on Sundays)
• 2tph to Wigan North Western (on Sundays, 1tph runs on this route to Blackpool North)

In peak times, some additional services run between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Victoria. Fast services to the Airport and regular locals to Victoria both ended at the May 2018 timetable change. This timetable change was also when TransPennine Express introduced Liverpool-North East services, which run via Manchester Victoria. These pass through the station without stopping.

• Three trains per hour to Liverpool Lime Street (two trains per hour on Sundays)

All of these call at Edge Hill on weekdays; on Sundays all run non-stop to Lime Street.
