Bank Hall railway station is arailway station inKirkdale,Liverpool,England, located to the north of the city centre, on theNorthern Line of theMerseyrail network. As the area around the station is made up of largely closed industrial buildings, the station is one of the quietest on the Northern Line.
Bank Hall opened in 1850 as an intermediate station when theLiverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway was extended from its previous terminal atWaterloo toLiverpool Exchange. It became part of theLancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR), on 14 June 1855.[1] The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway amalgamated with theLondon and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922 and in turn wasGrouped into theLondon, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.Nationalisation followed in 1948 and in 1978 the station became part of the Merseyrail network's Northern Line (operated byBritish Rail untilprivatisation in 1995). Only one of the twoisland platforms located here is still in use - the other remains but has no track and is heavily overgrown.[2]
The station's ticket office is staffed during the hours the station is open (from 05:45 on weekdays, 08:00 Sundays until end of service shortly after midnight). There is a shelter on the platform and digital display screens, but no step-free access from the booking hall down to the platform.[3]
Trains operate every 15 minutes throughout the day from Monday to Saturday toSouthport to the north, and toHunts Cross viaLiverpool Central to the south. Sunday services are every 30 minutes in each direction.[4]
