Some pictures of Garston station, Merseyside. The station closed in 1972 but reopened again in 1978 as part of the Merseyrail Northern Line. It closed again 10th June 2006 when it was replaced by the new Liverpool South Parkway station which is located only a few hundred yards away but has the advantage of serving Merseyrail's City Line as well as the Northern Line. All the 2006 pictures were kindly provided by Mark Cleave.
