Southport St Lukes formerly St Lukes Road formerly Barton Street
(1902 - 1968)
The station was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (LYR) as Barton Street on July 2 1883 and became known locally as St Lukes Road
There was a wide island platform, where a collection of buildings housed the station’s facilities
A new island platform on the former WLR was brought into use early in 1902 and the station was renamed Southport St Lukes on March 1 1902. Southport Ash Street station was closed in June 1902
The Preston line platform possessed a single-storey timber building with canopies on either side. Further along the platform towards Preston another timber structure housed the gentlemen’s toilets
In summer 1932, 20 trains departed to Preston, and nearly one hundred trains ran to Southport Chapel Street from St Lukes
The ‘Beeching report’ of 1963, proposed withdrawing services between Southport and Preston, including the busy electric Crossens service although the line was well used. Despite local protest, the Southport to Preston line passenger services were withdrawn on September 7 1964
The site of the Preston platform could be seen clearly until the 1980s
