The Wirral Railway was a railway network in the northern part of the Wirral Peninsula,England. Its route was from Birkenhead Park in the east of the Wirral to West Kirby in the west. A branch off this line at Bidston went north to Secombe and New Brighton. It was incorporated in 1863 as the Hoylake Railway,running from Hoylake to Birkenhead Docks. After changes of name and of ownership,it was purchased by the Wirral Railway Company Limited in 1884. The network was extended to West Kirby,New Brighton,and Seacombe,and to Birkenhead Park station where it joined the Mersey Railway,enabling through trains through the Mersey Railway Tunnel to Liverpool. In the 1923 grouping the Wirral company became part of the London,Midland and Scottish Railway,which electrified the line in 1938,allowing passenger services to be integrated with the Liverpool urban system. Most of the Wirral Railway network is still in use today as part of the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail rail network.
