Sefton & Maghull formerly Sefton
(1884 - 1952)
Opened as part of the Southport and Cheshire Lines Extension Railway which ran between Aintree Central and Southport Lord Street in September 1884. The station was named Sefton until 1886 when it became Sefton and Maghull
Sefton and Maghull had two platforms with a substantial brick-built building on the southbound platform and a small shelter was provided for passengers travelling northbound
The station closed to passengers on January 1 1917 as a war time economy measure but it re-opened on April 1 1919
Sefton and Maghull station did not survive long into the period of nationalization closing entirely on January 7 1952, however the line through the station survived for a further 8 years to serve private sidings at Altcar and Hillhouse
