Sefton Park railway station

The station opened on 1 June 1892. This followed the quadrupling of the line from Wavertree to Ditton Junction on 13 July 1891. The station had a substantial booking office at street level on the west side of the line and on the south side of Smithdown Road. A subway connected to four platforms situated on an embankment well above street level. The platforms had waiting facilities constructed of timber. The station came under the control of the station master at Mossley Hill and was staffed by a junior clerk and two porters. The station closed on 2 May 1960 shortly before the line was electrified due to low passenger numbers. Reports suggested that the station was losing £2,000 a year with an average of just 80 tickets a day being issued.
