Warren railway station was located near New Brighton, Wirral, England. The station was built on the New Brighton branch of the Seacombe, Hoylake and Deeside Railway between Wallasey Grove Road and New Brighton stations, opening on 30 March 1888. This branch became part of the Wirral Railway on 1 July 1891.[1]
Remotely situated, the station only ever served a small part of the community (and the local golf course). This combined with an infrequent service and the later introduction of a tram service on Warren Drive meant it was little used, finally closing on 1 October 1915.[1][2] Only the foundations of the up platform are extant, revealed during engineering work in 2006.[1] The line remains in use and passes through the site as part of the Wirral Line, now operated by Merseyrail.
