Moreton
(1866 - )
Moreton station opened for regular service on July 2 1866, on the Hoylake Railway, between Hoylake and Birkenhead Docks
By 1898, the station had a small signal box towards the eastern end of the westbound platform, and a siding to the south of the station. West of the station, sidings for Moreton brickworks were added around 1903. The signal box was replaced in 1932 and moved to the north side of the tracks beyond the eastern end of the platform
The platform buildings were replaced in 1938, rebuilt in an identical style to one at Hoylake. 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
Cadbury had a private siding adjacent to the station after 1956, but their freight trains had been withdrawn by 1971
