Chapel Street formerly Southport Chapel Street
(1851 - )


The current station opened as Southport Chapel Street on August 22 1851, and became the terminus for all trains to Liverpool, Manchester and Preston in 1857

At its largest, Chapel Street station had eleven regular platforms and two excursion platforms. Now six truncated platforms are in use (platforms 1-3 for Liverpool trains & 4-6 for Manchester), the rest having been demolished and the land used for car parking. In 1970, the former terminal building was replaced with a shopping centre

The goods sidings still remain today but are not much used

The main entrance to this staffed station is located on the pedestrianised Chapel Street, one of Southport's main shopping areas. There are toilets, platform CCTV and a Mtogo shop & booking office. There are departure and arrival screens on the platforms for passenger information and racks for up to 80 cycles
