Halebank formerly Halewood Road formerly Halebank for Hale
(1852 - 1958)
Halebank station was opened as Halewood Road on July 1 1852. It was located one mile north of Hale village and one mile to south-east of Halewood, on the east side of Burr Lane (later renamed Lower Road)
At the time of opening Halewood Road had two platforms and the main facilities were on the south side of the line
The February 1863 timetable showed Halewood Road as having 6 trains in each direction Monday to Saturday and 3 each way on Sundays
On November 1 1874 Halewood Road station was renamed Halebank (for Hale) by the LNWR. This was presumably to avoid confusion with the CLC station at Halewood and to promote the fact that the LNWR station was closer to Hale than the CLC station was
By 1891 it had four platform faces, two of which were part of an island platform. The main entrance to the station was via a single-storey street-level building located on the south side of the line. To the east of the driveway, at right angles to the line, was the stationmaster's house. From the street level building a subway connected to the platforms and on each platform there were single-storey timber buildings with awnings that housed waiting facilities and toilets
In May 1895 the suffix 'for Hale' ceased to be used
The December 1895 timetable showed Halebank being served by 11 up and 12 down trains on weekdays with an extra train on Saturdays
Halebank station was closed as a wartime economy measure on January 1 1917, and it did not reopen until May 5 1919
Being in an isolated location Halebank was not well used and the winter 1956 timetable showed only 8 trains in each direction on weekdays, with a couple of extra trains on Saturdays Halebank was closed completely on September 15 1958 and it was demolished shortly after to facilitate the electrification of the line between Liverpool and Crewe
