Allerton railway station was a railway station on the City Line of the Merseyrail network, located in the suburbs of Liverpool, England. It opened on 15 February 1864 with the opening of the St Helens Railway's extension to Edge Hill. Despite the name, it was not located in the suburb of Allerton, but in neighbouring Garston. The station was located at the junction of the routes from Liverpool to Manchester and Crewe. Prior to closure, the station was served by the hourly Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Oxford Road service. A stopping service to Crewe ran for many years, but was withdrawn in the early 1990s. 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〔 and underwent a complete rebuild, reopening on 11 June 2006 as Liverpool South Parkway. The original station buildings were demolished, and the subway linking the platforms, located at the Liverpool end of the station was filled in. A new, modern structure of glass and steel has been built, with a footbridge over the platforms at the south end of the station. ==References== 〔 * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allerton railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
