Ince & Elton formerly Ince
(1863 - )
Ince station was opened on July 1 1863 by the Birkenhead Joint Railway and it was renamed Ince & Elton on April 17 1884
The route through the station carried significant amounts of freight from the outset, from the docks at Birkenhead and later from the oil refineries and dock complex at Ellesmere Port as well as a local passenger service between Birkenhead Monks Ferry (from opening until March 1878) and Birkenhead Woodside (from April 1878) or Hooton and Helsby
Ince & Elton station was earmarked for closure, along with Stanlow & Thornton, Helsby and Ellesmere Port, under the proposals made by Dr. Beeching but this was never implemented
The station is unstaffed and there are no ticket facilities, toilets or waiting rooms
There is a minimal train service towards Helsby and to Ellesmere Port - 2 of these trains (1 morning and 1 evening) continue to Warrington Bank Quay, whilst the first train of the morning comes from there
