The Garston and Liverpool Railway line ran from the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway line at Garston Docks to Brunswick railway station, later to central Liverpool. The company was formed on 17 May 1861 by the Garston & Liverpool Railway Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. xxxv) and the line opened on 1 June 1864.[1]
Garston Dock station had opened in 1852 as the terminus of the St Helens Canal and Railway Company's line from Warrington. The act of Parliament for this line had also given the company rights to construct a deepwater dock on the River Mersey at Garston, extending the early St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway further down the Mersey to a better and less tidal port.[1] The company also aspired to reach Liverpool and the Garston and Liverpool Railway would be the means for this, extending beyond the Garston terminus, and following the Mersey downstream to the North West.[1]
