Conway Park railway station is situated in the town centre of Birkenhead, Wirral, England. It lies on the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network. == History == Conway Park is the newest station on the Wirral Line, opening on 22 June 1998. It is between Birkenhead Park and Hamilton Square stations, approached on either side by a tunnel built by the Mersey Railway in the 1880s. It was built by excavating a box downwards, opening out the roof of the tunnel, which is 18 metres below ground level. The platforms are reached by stairs or lifts from the ticket office.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Station Facilities for Conway Park )〕 The station was built in order to provide a station on the lines from New Brighton and West Kirby that was more convenient for the town centre of Birkenhead than either Birkenhead Park or Hamilton Square (which are otherwise the nearest stations). Its name comes from the name of the redevelopment area on the north side of the town centre in which it is situated. The name has come under criticism as some regard it not to be particularly indicative of the station's location. When it was originally being planned, the station was known as Birkenhead Market. The platforms are protected by ticket barriers. The road which the station is situated on is Europa Boulevard. A cycle rack was built and opened inside the ticket hall in 2015. The ticket office at Conway Park closed on 20 July 2015 for 3 weeks for improvements to take place.〔(Conway Park Ticket Office Closure )〕 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「Conway Park railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
