Encyclopedia : A : AI : AIG : Aigburth railway station

Aigburth railway station serves the Aigburth district of Liverpool, England. It is situated on the Southport-Hunts Cross route of the Northern Line of the Merseyrail suburban system.

History

The station, originally called Mersey Road & Aigburth, opened in 1864 as part of the Garston and Liverpool Railway line between Brunswick and Garston Dock. In 1865 the station and line were incorporated into the Cheshire Lines Committee.

The station closed in 1972 but reopened in 1978 as part of the Kirkby-Garston line of the Merseyrail system. Services were extended from Garston to Hunts Cross in 1983, and diverted to Southport instead of Kirkby in 1984.

Services

Trains operate every 15 minutes, Monday-Saturday daytime to Southport via Liverpool Central to the north, and Hunts Cross to the south. During the evenings and all day Sunday, services are every 30 minutes in each direction.
