History
The station opened on 1 July 1870 and closed to passengers on 31 May 1948.
The site came to national attention in 1993 for being near to the scene where the toddler James Bulger was found dead, after having been abducted and murdered by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.
Merseytravel have held talks about re-opening the Canada Dock Branch to passengers.[1]
In 2017 traces of the platforms could still be seen. Freight trains to and from Seaforth Dock still pass through the station site. It was announced in December 2019 that Liverpool City Council had commissioned a feasibility study to see about reopening the Canada Dock Branch to passenger traffic.[2]
