Notes: Brocklebank Dock was a typical Liverpool Overhead Railway station being located on the elevated line 16 feet above street level on the iron structure that carried the line above Liverpool's busy Dock Road and directly above the Dock Boards railway which ran throughout the length of the dock system linking the various goods facilities. Upon opening it was served by trains between Herculaneum Dock and Alexandra Dock stations. Between 1894 and 1905 extensions where made to Dingle in the south and in two stages to Seaforth & Litherland on the L&Y Liverpool. To Southport line. The station was connected to the street by stairs.

The line closed along with all of its stations on 30.12.1956 due to the structure corroding.

Brocklebank Dock station was demolished with the rest of the Overhead Railway towards the end of 1957.
