Crossens railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crossens railway station was a railway station serving Crossens, a suburb of Southport, Sefton, Merseyside, England. Located on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway main line between Southport and Preston, it was opened to passengers by the West Lancashire Railway. In April 1904 it became the last electrified station on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's suburban lines from Liverpool Exchange railway station, forming a mock terminus of the Southport - Crossens electric branch.

[edit] Layout

The station consisted of two platforms with an additional turnback siding provided for the electric Class 502 stock if a through train to either Southport or Preston was scheduled.
