Ford railway station was a station located on the North Mersey Branch at East of Netherton Way A5038, north Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It opened for service on 1 June 1906 and closed on 2 April 1951. Passenger trains then only ran once a year on this line, transporting passengers for the Grand National, although this service also ceased in 1956. Demolition of Ford station was completed on 1 May 1959.
Reopening proposals
This section of the line still exists, although has no passenger services running and is no longer electrified, with the only trains running being for engineer access to the Ormskirk line. Plans to open this section as part of Merseyrail's Northern Line have been put forward in Sefton's transport plan, with the first details to emerge about its possible reopening being published by the media on 28 February 2008. The Crosby Herald newspaper reported that the line could be reopened in conjunction with Liverpool F.C.'s new stadium, to provide additional transport links via the Litherland area, likely to cost millions.[1]
