    Not sure where you get all this from but the only stations planned for that line are Edge Lane, Tue Book and Anfield.

    Hi Guys

    I have found a reference to an accident report dated 10/07/1872 for Liverpool Byrom Street. Whilst this is highly unlikely to be the Joseph Hesketh event due to the date it may well give...

    Hi Waterways

    I agree completely the point is 'passenger' station. Problem is people are still implying it was regularly used as a stop off point yourself included. Dropping off say a signalman at...

    There was never a passenger station at Woodside. It was only ever goods. The date of opening is unknown but it closed 06/03/1961. The 1849 OS maps show a level crossing here but that was later closed...
