Mossley Hill railway station is in the suburbs of Liverpool in the north west of England. The station is operated by Northern Rail.
It and Allerton were the only stations opened on 15 February 1864 when the St Helens Railway's (taken over by the LNWR from 29 July 1864) extension from Speke to Edge Hill opened. The station was replaced from 13 July 1891, when the Edge Hill to Speke line was quadrupled.[1]
The station was renamed from Mossley Hill for Aigburth to Mossley Hill on 6 May 1974.[2]
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, First 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).[citation needed]
The ticket office is on a road bridge. Ramps lead down to the two island platforms, which have basic shelters and seats.
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.
Services
There is a service between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Oxford Road operated by Northern Rail. The station is served by local buses.
