A rebuilding of 1938, "the largest and most ambitious of the stations on the line, designed in the Architects' Section of the office of W.K. Wallace, Chief Civil Engineer to the LMS Railway." It clearly owes a debt to Holden's tube stations. Grade II listed. Now "it lies on the West Kirby branch of the Wirral Line, part of the Merseyrail network". There is only one station further west (West Kirby); Liverpool lies in the other direction (left).
