Rock Ferry
(1862 - )
Rock Ferry station first opened on October 31 1862 replacing Rock Lane on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway
In 1891 it became an interchange as the terminus of the largely underground urban Mersey Railway line from Liverpool when the line extended south from its previous terminus at Green Lane station
The station has an island platform with four platforms and four tracks. two platforms are unused with two tracks used for train stabling. The Birkenhead Dock Branch line branched off the line south of the station, with freight trains passing to the western side of the station. The freight line fell into disuse in 1993
Until 1967 Rock Ferry was the first stop out of Birkenhead Woodside on the former GWR main line from Birkenhead Woodside to London Paddington station
From 1967 with the closure of Birkenhead Woodside station the Rock Ferry station became a 100% terminus and interchange station for electric services from the north from Liverpool's city centre and diesel trains services from the south from Chester and Helsby
