[edit] History

Seaforth & Litherland opened in 1850 as an intermediate station on the extended Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway to Liverpool Exchange which had terminated at Waterloo previously. It became part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1904, who took over from the LCSR. Subsequently, with the advent of British Rail in 1948, it became part of the Merseyrail Network's Northern Line.
