Garston and Liverpool Railway
The Garston and Liverpool Railway line ran from the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway line at Garston Docks to Brunswick railway station. It opened on 1 June 1864. It was absorbed by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) on 5 July 1865, whose Liverpool to Manchester line joined it at Cressington Junction.
At St Michaels a short spur in a tunnel leads to a goods station between Harrington Dock and Herculaneum Dock.[1]
