Mossley Hill railway station
Encyclopedia
Mossley Hill railway station is in the suburbs of Liverpool
in the north west of England
. The station is operated by Northern Rail
.
The station was renamed from Mossley Hill for Aigburth to Mossley Hill on 6 May 1974.
Like West Allerton (preceding south) there are 4 platforms, 2 of which, platforms 1 and 2, are located on the fast lines and are where most trains stop. 3 & 4 are on the slow lines and are used infrequently, mainly where faster services (Virgin West Coast, Transpennine Express and most London Midland
) are booked to overtake stopping services on this stretch of line (this is most common in the Liverpool-bound direction).
There is a roughly half-hourly service between Liverpool Lime Street
and Manchester Oxford Road operated by Northern Rail
.
The ticket office is on a road bridge. Ramps lead down to the two island platforms, which have basic shelters and seats.
The station is also served by local bus services: 80, 80A, 180, 201, 173 and 61.
North of the station, on the route towards Edge Hill are the sites – still identifiable where the line crosses roads – of the former Sefton Park
and Wavertree
stations.
