Sandhills railway station
Sandhills railway station is a railway station in Kirkdale, Liverpool, England, located to the north of the city centre on the Northern Line of the Merseyrail network. It was built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and now stands at the junction between the branch to Southport and the branch to Ormskirk and Kirkby.
The two platforms form a single island, overlooking the River Mersey on one side, and the former industrial area of Commercial Road on the other. It is also used by football fans heading for Liverpool F.C. and Everton F.C. matches: a bus service called 'Soccerbus' runs between the station and the football stadiums on match-days only.
Previously passengers had to walk up a ramp to reach the ticket office, then through a subway and up ramps to reach the platform.
Now the ramp remains, with alternate staircase. Leading to a lift directly into the booking office, accessing both sides of the island platforms.
