Wavertree railway station is a disused station in England. It should not be confused with the present-day Wavertree Technology Park station, nearby on the St Helens line.

History

The station opened on 1 September 1870. The line was quadrupled as far as Ditton Junction on 13 July 1891, when the station entrance was moved and the station itself may have been rebuilt. The station had a substantial booking office at street level on the west side of the line and on the south side of Wellington Road. A subway connected to four platforms situated on an embankment well above street level. The platforms had timber-built waiting facilities. The station closed on 5 August 1958 shortly before the line was electrified. No trace of the station remains at track level.[1]
