Originally called Levenshulme station it was opened by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway on 2nd May 1892. The station was on the Fallowfield Loops line from Chorlton to Fairfield. It was renamed Levenshulme South in 1950 to distinguish it from the former LNWR station a short distance away. It closed to passengers in 1958 and to freight in 1965.In 2001 the route was converted into the Fallowfield Loop cycleway. Work started in 2018 to converted the old station building into a cafe aimed mainly at cyclists. http://stationsouth.co.uk/ See Disused Stations: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/levenshulme_south/
