The station served the town of Neston. HistoryThe Birkenhead Railway, owned jointly by the Great Western Railway (GWR) and London and North Western Railway (LNWR), opened a branch line from Hooton to Parkgate on 1 October 1866. This was to serve the colliery near Neston and the residential area and bathing resort of Parkgate.[2][3] The railway was extended to West Kirby in 1886.[2][4] From its opening in 1866 until 1952, it was known simply as Neston railway station. Consisting of brick station buildings and two platforms, it was situated half a mile south east of Neston North railway station, which is now named Neston railway station. A factor which affected Neston South during its existence was being sited some distance away from the town centre. This was due to a dispute between the railway company and the local landowner the Earl of Shrewsbury.[2] ClosureNeston South railway station was closed to passengers on 17 September 1956. The track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another six years, closing on 7 May 1962. The tracks were lifted two years later.[2][4][5] The station buildings and platforms have been demolished and the site redeveloped for housing.[4] Wirral Country ParkThe route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973, which was the first such designated site in Britain.[6][7] References1. ^{{citation|title=On the track of a country park|last=Christiansen|first=Rex|journal=The Countryman|editor=Gill, C.|date=Autumn 1977}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{citation|title=The Birkenhead Railway|first=T.B.|last=Maund|year=2000|pages=33–34, 43–44, 69|publisher=The Railway Correspondence and Travel Society|isbn=0-901115-87-8}} 3. ^{{citation|title=Cheshire Railways Remembered|last=Oppitz|first=Leslie|year=1997|pages=95–96|publisher=Countryside Books|isbn=1-85306-458-0}} 4. ^1 2 {{citation|url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/n/neston_south/index.shtml |title=Disused Stations: Neston|publisher=Subterranea Britannica|accessdate=21 November 2008}} 5. ^{{citation|title=The Hooton to West Kirby branch line and the Wirral Way|author=Merseyside Railway History Group|editor=Scheele, R.|publisher=Metropolitan Borough of Wirral|year=1982|isbn=0-904582-04-3}} 6. ^{{citation|url=http://www.wirral.gov.uk/LGCL/100006/200073/670/content_0001012.html|title=Wirral Country Park|publisher=Metropolitan Borough of Wirral|accessdate=21 November 2008|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081030070801/http://www.wirral.gov.uk/LGCL/100006/200073/670/content_0001012.html|archivedate=30 October 2008|df=dmy-all}} 7. ^{{citation|url=http://www.visitliverpool.com/site/attractions/wirral-country-park-p7711 |title=Wirral Country Park|publisher=Visit Liverpool|accessdate=8 December 2007}} Further reading
