' This is the western spur of the Halewood Trianglular Junction. At the time this photo was taken you could travel to Southport from Liverpool Central (high level) using this connection from the Warrington/Manchester line to the North Liverpool loop line routed via Gateacre, Knotty Ash, West Derby. Clubmoor, Warbreck and Aintree. The Southport Cheshire Lines Extension beyond Aintree Central to Southport Lord Street closed to passengers on 07/01/52 - Infrequent passenger_ trains ran to Aintree until 1960, but mainly to and from this station to Manchester or Warrington. The loop line, from the beginning, was mostly intended for use by freight trains anyway. Goods train services ceased in the seventies when the lines to Huskisson Depot and Aintree Central were lifted in stages and the loop line finally lifted in 1975 to complete the closure of the entire line.
