Widnes South formerly Widnes
(1870 - 1962)
Widnes South station opened as Widnes on March 1 1870 and was built on an embankment
A street level single-storey brick building, with segmental arched openings and a hipped slate roof, was occupied by a booking and parcels office
Two platforms were provided and the westbound platform was connected to a covered entrance passageway by a set of covered steps. The eastbound platform was reached via a subway that led from the entrance passageway then passed under the line to a set of covered steps
Each platform had a single-storey, timber building with a hipped slate roof, which provided waiting facilities for passengers. The buildings directly faced each other and were of similar length. Each had a canopy covering the whole width of the platform and extending to the full length of the building
Passenger services were mostly of a local nature running between Liverpool and Manchester, and intermediate stations and also between Ditton Junction and St Helens
On January 5 1959 the station was renamed 'Widnes South'
By 1962, very few passengers used the station each day, a number of railway employees plus half a dozen other passengers so the station was closed on September 10 1962
