Tue Brook railway station was a station located on the north side of West Derby Road, Tuebrook, Liverpool, England, opposite Newsham Park on the Canada Dock Branch.

History

It opened on 1 July 1870; and it closed to passengers on 31 May 1948. The line remains a busy freight route today.

Merseyrail are reported to be[2] interested in opening thirty new railway stations, and due to the population density and the already existing framework, it is possible that the stations on the Canada Dock/Bootle Branch could be included.[3]
