History

The station opened on 1 July 1870 and closed to passengers on 31 May 1948. Trains to and from Seaforth Dock still pass through the station site.

Future

Merseytravel have made several mentions of re-opening the station as part of a plan of using the Canada Dock/Bootle Branch for passenger services. The October 2017 Liverpool City Region Combined Authority update to the Long Term Rail Strategy mentions the re-opening of the line to passenger use with new stations at Anfield, Tue Brook and Edge Lane.
