Woodvale railway station was located in Woodvale, Merseyside, England.{{sfn|Jowett|1989|loc=Map 43}}{{sfn|Griffiths|1947|p=18}}

History

The Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway (SCLER) opened the station on 1 September 1884 as Woodville & Ainsdale, though one source refers to it as "Woodvale and Ainsdale".{{sfn|Dow|1962|p=142}} It was renamed Woodvale on 1 May 1898. The station was built on an embankment crossing Liverpool Road and was well known for its floral displays on both platforms.{{sfn|Travers|2013|page=375}}{{sfn|Foster|2000|pp=19-20}}

Run down and closure

The station first closed in 1917, along with all other stations on the extension line, as a World War I economy measure.

The station was reopened on 1 April 1919, and continued in use until 7 January 1952, when the SCLER was closed to passengers from Aintree Central to Southport Lord Street. The line remained open for public goods traffic until 7 July 1952 at Southport Lord St., Birkdale Palace and Altcar & Hillhouse Stations. Public goods facilities were ended at Woodvale, Lydiate and Sefton & Maghull stations on the same date as passenger services (7 January 1952*) and there were never any goods facilities at Ainsdale Beach station to begin with. A private siding remained open at Altcar & Hillhouse after 7 July 1952, finally closing in May 1960. The very last passenger train to run on the SCLER was a railway enthusiasts' 'special' between Aintree and Altcar & Hillhouse railways stations on 6 June 1959.

On the subject of railway station or line 'closing dates', the official day of a closure is always given as the Monday following the date of last trains run. As this is almost always a Saturday, if 7 January 1952 (Monday) is given as the date of closure, this means the actual last day of services was Saturday, 5 January 1952. This is proven by last day tickets which bear the 5 January date.

Present

The track bed was later utilised to support what is now the Coastal Road, which runs from Woodvale to Southport.
