The world's oldest used railway station is Broad Green, 1830 - a part of the original Liverpool & Manchester Railway. The existing Edge Hill Station dates from 1836. Many think this station is the oldest. It is not. The original Edge Hill station is in the Edge Hill Cutting at the portal of the Wapping Tunnel. The station never had platforms, so it could be said it is still there. The access stairs are still there.
