Allerton railway station

Prior to closure, the station was served by the hourly Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Oxford Road service.

Allerton lost much of its traffic in 1978 when the nearby Garston station reopened on Merseyrail's Northern Line, offering a faster, more frequent service to Liverpool Central.

Despite the low passenger numbers, the station retained a staffed booking office - open all day when trains were running - in accordance with the policy of the local PTE, Merseytravel.

The station closed to passengers on 30 July 2005[2] and underwent a complete rebuild, reopening on 11 June 2006 as Liverpool South Parkway.

A new, modern structure of glass and steel was built, with a footbridge over the platforms at the south end of the station.
