The station was opened by the Cheshire Lines Committee in 1874 on the line between
Liverpool Central and
Manchester Central. The Merseyrail Northern Line was extended to Hunts Cross in 1983. The original station building still survives but is now a bar and restaurant. A modern building has replaced it for railway purposes.
Hunts Cross is in a cutting with stepped ramps down to the platforms from a road level booking office. It is served by Merseyrail services departing every fifteen minutes most days as well as Northern services at least once an hour. East Midlands Railway also stop at Hunts Cross in peak hours.
