Notes: When opened in 1893 Alexandra Dock Station was the Liverpool
Overhead Railways most northerly terminus. It was a typical
LOR station being located on the elevated line 16 feet above
street level on the iron structure that carried the line above
Liverpool's busy Dock Road and directly above the Dock Boards
railway which ran throughout the length of the dock system linking
the various goods facilities. Upon opening it was served by
trains from Herculaneum Dock in the south. Between 1894 and
1905 extensions where made to Dingle in the south and northwards
in two stages to Seaforth & Litherland on the L&Y Liverpool
to Southport line.
Each platform had its own stairway leading down to street level,
ticket facilities where provided on the platforms.
The line closed along with all of its stations due to the structure
corroding on 30/12/1956.
Alexandra Dock station was demolished with the rest of the Overhead
Railway towards the end of 1957.
