Woodvale formerly Woodville & Ainsdale
(1884 - 1952)
Opened as Woodville and Ainsdale as part of the Southport and Cheshire Lines Extension Railway which ran between Aintree Central and Southport Lord Street in September 1884 and the station was renamed Woodvale on May 1 1898
Situated on an embankment Woodvale Station consisted of two platforms with wooden waiting facilities on each platform
The station closed to passengers on January 1 1917 as a war time economy measure and it re-opened on April 1 1919
Woodvale was closed entirely on July 1 1952 and the station site is very much altered as the embankment has been removed to facilitate the start of the Coastal Road which runs along the route of the railway to the site of Birkdale Palace Station
