Leasowe
(1870 - 1872 1894 - )
Leasowe station was originally opened on the Hoylake Railway in 1870, as Leasowe Crossing and having no proper platform, closing less than two years later
Situated on Reeds Lane, the station was then opened again on May 5 1894, when the line from Bidston to Moreton was doubled. It was built by the Wirral Railway on their line from Birkenhead Park to West Kirby
Through electric services to Liverpool Central commenced on March 13 1938, when the LMS electrified the lines from Birkenhead Park to West Kirby. The service was provided by the then-new LMS electric multiple units. The platform buildings were replaced in 1938, rebuilt in a similar style to those along the line towards West Kirby and a footbridge was added. The signal box, used to operate the level crossing and replacing a cabin on the westbound platform, was moved to the opposite side of Reeds Lane and was also improved upon at the time.
