Hesketh Park railway station
Hesketh Park railway station was on the West Lancashire Railway in England. It was close to Hesketh Park in Southport. The station opened in 1878. In 1904 third-rail electrification of the line from Southport Chapel Street was completed to Crossens and electric trains served this station. Following extension of the electrification to Meols Cop in 1909 these electric trains ran first to Meols Cop then reversed before reaching Hesketh Park. Steam trains from Southport to Preston and beyond travelled to Hesketh Park directly from Southport without passing through Meols Cop. The line to Preston closed on 7 September 1964, having been steam operated until the end. The electric service to Southport & Liverpool was withdrawn at the same time, though freight traffic continued until 1967.
