Tuebrook
(1866 - 1948)
The double-track line opened in two stages, the first being from Edge Hill to Tuebrook on June 1 1866. Tuebrook station opened with the first section of the branch. It was located on an embankment on the north side of West Derby Road. Each of the two platforms were linked to the street by wooden stairways. Initially open to the elements the stairways were enclosed with walls and a roof by 1900
Both platforms were constructed with a brick face and they were paved with stone flags. The main facilities where located on the up platform (Liverpool direction). They were housed in a single-storey timber structure with a hipped roof. A flat awning sheltered the platform. On the down platform (Canada Dock direction) there was, in the early days, just a simple waiting shelter but a larger building in a similar style to that on the up platform had been provided by 1900
On October 15 1866 the line was opened from Tuebrook to Canada Dock but only for goods services. The passenger service continued to run only between Liverpool and Tuebrook until July 1 1870 when a passenger station opened at Canada Dock
On October 21 1900 electric trams were introduced and a frequent service linked Tuebrook to the city centre via a much more direct route and they competed more effectively than the horse trams for passengers. The competition resulted in a reduced passenger train service
On January 1 1948 Tuebrook became part of British Railways (London Midland Region). As a passenger station it did not survive long after Nationalisation, closing on May 31 1948. A passenger service between Liverpool and Spellow (the last station before Atlantic Dock Junction, opened in September 1882) was shown in the Summer 1949 timetable with only 1 passenger train in each direction
