Notes: Pier Head Station was the Liverpool Overhead Railway's busiest station and it opened with the first section of the line on 4.02.1893.

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. The platforms were reached by stairs that led up from street level.

Only a couple of Overhead stations had platform canopies and Pier Head was one of them probably because it was situated right in the heart of Liverpool's commercial district.

Unlike other Overhead Stations it also had ticket facilities at street level. Pier Head station was situated right next to the world famous Royal Liver Building opened in 1911. Pier Head Station offered good connections with the cities tram routes most of which terminated at Pier Head which was, and still is to this day the Mersey Ferries Terminal.

The line closed along with all of its stations due to the structure corroding on 30.12.1956.

Pier Head Station was demolished with the rest of the Overhead Railway towards the end of 1957.
