    Default Great Howard Street Station

    @Oritelad

    I have seen a picture of the station you are on about and I am trying to find it for you. Its a two-storey building with the platforms on the upper level.

    In the mean time, I found this old picture of Exchange from here.

    For 50 points can anyone tell us what the huge domed shaped building is in the background on the right?

    The first station pic is actually Walton & Anfield (Originally opened as Walton for Aintree, but the name was changed as it was very confusing for passengers, who alighted & found that Aintree was a fair few miles away!!). Walton & Anfield is not to be confused with the present Walton station on the Northern Line. It was located near to the Cherry Lane end of Walton Village & was part of the Canada Dock branch, but as with most of the stations on the line (incl Spellow, which was one stop away) it closed in 1948. There were proposals to reopen most of the stations on the Canada Dock branch, back in the 70's as part of new Merseyrail. However this never materialised and the line remained freight only. However, there is talk by Merseyrail of the possibility of reopening the branch to passengers once again in the future. You never know..!
