Wavertree railway station is a disused station in England.

[edit] History

The station opened on 1 June 1892. This followed the quadrupling of the line from Wavertree to Ditton Junction on 13 July 1891. The station had a substantial booking office at street level on the west side of the line and on the south side of Smithdown Road. A subway connected to four platforms situated on an embankment well above street level. The platforms had waiting facilities constructed of timber. The station closed on 2 May 1960 shortly before the line was electrified. Nothing remains at track level but at street level the booking office can still be seen as it is in use as a private business. [1]
