[edit] Nonsense edit

Description of services in edit by 81.102.162.34 bears no relation to that described in the National Rail Timetable, or by the Merseyrail website. --RFBailey 17:42, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Former stations

I'm not sure that the list of former stations should be included in this article. Apart from one (Warren), none are on lines which are part of the Wirral Line as understood today. I think a separate list of "Disused railway stations on the Wirral" or something similar should be created instead. --RFBailey 20:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

It's feasible, I created it more out of recognition for the railway history of the borough, although while I guess they're not on lines considered part of the Wirral Line itself they are formed from branches off current lines, one reason I chose to add the ones I did rather than including stations on the West Kirby-Hooton Branch. Also there is still evidence of the track leading from Birkenhead North to the Liscard/Seacombe branch on current (though long unused) lines. I'd personally say they should stay however maybe a sub-division of the current "List of closed railway stations in Britain" could have a facility brought into it that divides stations into counties, therefore grouping disused Merseyside stations together?

If it helps there is already a list that includes closed stations on Merseyside "List of railway stations in Merseyside". Shrew 08:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stations Archive

This is an archive of the former list of stations which I have replaced with a new template. See the Northern Line (Merseyrail) page for discussion.

[edit] "Former stations" (again)

Following my earlier comments above (from over a year ago!), I have removed the list of "former stations" from the article. While they are definitely former railway stations situated on the Wirral Peninsula, none of them (save for West Kirby, which is of course still there), none of them are on the present-day Wirral Line, which is the subject of the article. I have pasted the list below, to possibly form the basis of a potential List of disused railway stations on the Wirral Peninsula article. For the purpose of this article, they are off-topic. --RFBailey 19:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
