Aintree Racecourse railway station

[a][1] The station was situated on an embankment and overbridge that crossed Warbreck Moor on the usually goods only section of line between Fazakerley junction and Sefton junction to the east of the crossing former Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway.

[4][6] There was not much room available on the top of the embankment for a station that could cope with the expected big crowds.

To overcome this problem the eastbound track was raised and topped up to rail level with cinders to make one long platform divided into two sections, both capable of taking trains of 15 6-wheeled coaches.

They came from many directions including London, Rochdale, Walsall, Birmingham, Northampton, Hull, Leeds, York and North Wales.

[16] The route of the line was converted into a foot and cycle path during the 1990s and no evidence of the station remains.
