Bootle Balliol Road
(1881 - 1948)
Bootle Balliol Road was located on Alexandra Dock branch which opened on September 5 1881 with a short branch connecting the Canada Dock branch from Atlantic Dock Junction to Alexandra Dock
Balliol Road station opened with the branch and the entrance to the station was on Balliol Road where the Bootle Town Hall was situated. Passengers entered the station via a single-storey brick building located on the western side of Balliol Road. The building contained waiting rooms and a booking office
The Alexandra Dock branch was a double-track railway and Balliol Road station was provided with two platforms which had waiting facilities and toilets. The up platform (Liverpool direction) was reached via a sloping path that led straight down from the station building. The down platform was approached via a path that passed over the line at the north end of the station where it entered the Berry Street tunnel
Bootle Balliol Road remained remarkably intact after closure, the road side building surviving until the 1990s. The platforms remained extant but they had degraded significantly by 2013, becoming very overgrown with only the sections beneath Millers Bridge Road clearly visible.
