I always wonderd were this was.Im 64 and went there as a boy with my father.I always knew there was another train station in town because of going there.
I worked in the room on the extreme left of the top floor in the opening shots in the Engineers Dept from around 1965 until 1967 when they had constructed Rail House next to Lime Street station and we all moved in there! 😊
I just missed it, first going to Liverpool in 1974 when it had been demolished and there was just a hoarding with the plans for the new Mersyrail system up in the site.
I was born in 1965 (I'm 59 now) so in the 1970s going into town, the 79 bus would pass the old building ... You could see it on the top deck, from the bottom it was fenced off, I think it re-opened in 1977 (the old building knocked down, with the new frontage)
Thank you for calling it a railway station. The current trend for saying train station still sounds wrong to my ears - but then I’m old enough to remember actually using Liverpool Central high level railway station!
Absolutely ridiculous closure! Same goes for Liverpool Exchange. Liverpool Lime Street is now so congested it can barely take any more expansion. If Central and Exchange still exist today th8ngs would be so much better. OK, I’d still accept the Underground Merseyrail services is a good thing, but for medium and longer distance services a proper terminal station is better.
Fascinating, as a certain Vulcan science officer would put it. Have you done a history on that other great Central station of the North West, namely Manchester Central?
Great video, Trains Trains Trains. Looking forward to your next upload! I smashed that thumbs up icon on your content. Keep up the wonderful work. Your exploration of the rise and fall of Liverpool Central High Level station was truly captivating. How do you think the evolution of transportation in cities like Liverpool will shape their future infrastructure?
When Wilsons Bookshop was still open on Renshaw St, you could still see the signal box from the window of the shops rear staircase. Sadly, was too young to it in operation before it closed but at least able to see some of the station remains before more recent redevelopment.
Many thanks for your video but one of the pictures which you used was not of Liverpool Central station But you used one of the Cheshire lines committee station at Lord Street in Southport
@s125ish explains why some "facts" are wrong. Exchange was not a Beeching closure for instance. It's not listed for closure in the Beeching plan. It closed due to the merseyrail redevelopment
Liverpool Exchange was not listed for closure in the Beeching plan. It closed due to the redevelopment of the merseyrail underground ua-cam.com/video/krXBdSahsEc/v-deo.htmlsi=AIBtELv4-Hp2cy0z
I remember My Dad taking me To Central in the 60s to watch the Trains coming and going and we would get a cup of Tea on the way home. Happy Days.

Great Video Love to see your take on Derby Friargate Station

It will always be a Railway Station.

You can see the inside of the station in the early 60s film, "Violent Playground," starring Stanley Baker.
I've just been for another look at "reelstreets, violent playground". Cheers.

I first visited Liverpool for the garden festival, in 1984, and so never saw this station. Could you also do a video on Liverpool Exchange please.
Yes sure, I have got a Liverpool Lime Street Video coming out tomorrow.
Someone has already done one on Liverpool Exchange. ua-cam.com/video/iKiRT89BKMI/v-deo.htmlsi=8pg4yvsqpe6CTfoq
