It was renamed Aintree on the opening of the Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway on 1 September 1884.
However, it was never as successful because the CLC's route was much longer than that of the L&Y, serving areas within South Liverpool and along to Hunts Cross, before going north again up to Aintree.
The station finally closed to passengers on 7 November 1960 and then to race traffic in March 1963.
It finally closed on 7 December 1964 with the withdrawal of freight traffic (except for private sidings).
[5] Today, no evidence of the station's existence remains, as the site is buried under an industrial estate, located off Park Lane.
