Looking towards Liverpool from platform 2. Conway Park station was constructed by excavating downwards to open out a short section of the tunnel under central Birkenhead, and was opened in 1998. The station was left unroofed (though the cutting sides are supported by substantial concrete beams, a modern equivalent of flying arches), but being so far below ground level, natural light seems insufficient to keep the station illuminated.
