Southport Ash Street
(1882 - 1902)
The ‘new’ Ash Street station came into use in late July 1882. Regular through services began on September 16 1882 and from that date the name Ash Street was applied to the station
The station had two platforms, but three lines ran through it. The centre road was used by trains that did not call at the station. It had a booking office on Ash Street, and steps led down to the Southport Central direction ‘up’ platform; a footbridge gave access to the Preston platform. Simple waiting facilities were provided on both platforms
The closest point where the former WLR approached Southport and Wigan line was at Southport Ash Street. Demolition of the station was necessary to allow a junction between the lines to be completed
Passenger trains began operating over the junction on May 1 1901, and Southport Central was closed and the temporary platforms at Ash Street was closed in February 1902
Nothing survives of the station, but one rusting track marked part of its site
