Mossley Hill railway station is in the suburbs of Liverpool in the north west of England. The station is operated by Northern Rail.
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, and peak-hour trains between Lime Street, Crewe and Birmingham operated by London Midland also stop here. Services are less frequent in the evenings and on Sundays.
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 & 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.
