HistoryFirst stationThe original station opened in October 1840, on the Crewe to Chester line built by the Grand Junction Railway. It was initially called "Black Dog",[1] after the nearby pub, before its name was changed to Waverton two years later. The station had a building and two side platforms. [2] It was situated next to the bridge ({{coord|53|9|45.41|N| 2|49|0.20|W|format=dms|region:GB_scale:5000_type:railwaystation|name=Waverton's first station}}) that carried the London to Birkenhead coach road (today A41). The station was closed in 1898, after the 1st Duke of Westminster had a new station built {{convert|0.43|mi|m}} west of the original site.[2] Second StationThis station, which opened on the day the first station closed, had two side platforms with matching buildings and canopies. It also had goods sidings. Passengers services ceased in 1959 and the station closed completely six years later.[3] Today, only part of the eastbound station building remains.[4] The building on the former Chester-bound platform has been demolished.[3] In 2018 Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire opened a bus depot on the former station site.[5] Services{{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Chester GeneralLine and station open |next=Tattenhall Road Line open, station closed |route=London and North Western Railway North Wales Coast line |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{Disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line|previous=Chester General Line and station open |next=Tattenhall Line and station closed |route=London and North Western Railway Whitchurch and Tattenhall Railway |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{end box}} See also
