Eccleston Park – Top Ten Least Used Railway Stations – Merseyside

The station was opened in 1891 by the London and North Western railway, and unfortunately after research this is the only thing of note I have found about the station.  If you know any more please write a comment, I am sure that myself and other readers would be interested to know.

The station lies on a slight curve and has a one story station building.  Access is either a side road or ramp, the crossing of the line being done via the road bridge.  Looking at the building, although old, I have a feeling that it may not be original.

There is however an older building next door, however this seems to be a pumping station.

At time of writing, passenger traffic is provided by class 331 electric multiple units, although older class 319’s may still also be seen

A quiet station with some interesting buildings is the best way to describe Eccleston Park.  It a shame that there is no facts about history to be found, but I am sure someone will help us out on that.  For the enthusiast sight lines are good, but there isn’t much in the way of services through the station.

I have produced a video for this railway station, which can be viewed below :

I am a railway enthusiast based in Rainham, Kent. I enjoy mainly modern traction, however the history of rail, especially in places I visit, also interests me. I also have a static model railway, Mistydale, which has its own Facebook page. Thanks for visiting.
