Liscard and Poulton railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Liscard and Poulton railway station was a station located in Wallasey, Merseyside, England.
The station was an intermediate station on the Seacombe branch of the Wirral Railway. The station opened to passengers on 1 June 1895, hosting regular passenger services to Wrexham, Chester, West Kirby & New Brighton. The station was an island platform, located deep in a sandstone cutting & was accessed from a road bridge on Mill Lane.
Passenger numbers on the line were poor & the line was more focused on goods, so when the majority of the Wirral Railway was electrified in 1938, the Seacombe branch was omitted. The station was closed to passengers on 4 January 1960, although the line did continue to serve goods trains up until 1963. The route was then used to form the approach road to the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel.
