Gateacre & Woolton
(1879 - 1972)
Gateacre station opened on the line to Aintree on December 1 1879 on an embankment on the north side of Belle Vale Road which passed under the line.
At the time of the station opening Gateacre was a small rural village but today it is a suburb of Liverpool
The station building, reached by a sloping path, was on the west side of the line. It was a two-storey house consisting of a pair of adjacent pitched roofs, flanked to the south and north by a single-storey range
The two platforms were constructed using a timber face backfilled with spoil. They each had extensive hipped timber and glass canopies. The up platform also had waiting accommodation to the rear of the canopy in a long wooden structure with a ridged roof. The up platform was reached from the booking office via a subway
The station had a goods yard south of Belle Vale Road, on the west side of the line. It consisted of 2 long sidings parallel to the main line
The Liverpool Central - Gateacre via Hunts Cross service was withdrawn after the last train had run on April 15 1972 and the goods service was withdrawn in September 1973
