Liverpool South Parkway station is a railway station and bus interchange in the Garston district of Liverpool and it serves, via a bus link, Liverpool John Lennon Airport in the neighbouring suburb of Speke
The station is located on the junction of two main lines: the City Line from Liverpool to Manchester via Warrington and the Liverpool branch of the West Coast Main Line to London via Crewe
The main line platforms at Liverpool South Parkway are on the site of the former Allerton station, which closed in 2005 to allow the required rebuilding work to commence
The platforms are completely new, replacing a Cheshire Lines station at Garston which was slightly further west of the current station. The concourse, bus station and car park are built on land that was once the
home of South Liverpool F.C.
The station has six platforms (four high-level platforms on the West Coast Main Line and a further two on the Northern Line to Liverpool Central, a bus station for local bus services, taxi rank, car park,
bicycle storage, café and a passenger lounge with wifi internet access, comfortable chairs and free newspapers

services do not serve the station and there are no plans to do so in the future
