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.
