St Michael's (notice the apostrophe) was opened by the Garston & Liverpool Railway in 1864 on it's line between
Brunswick and
Garston Dock. The station was closed in 1972 though was re-opened just six years later as part of the Merseyrail route from
Kirkby to
Garston.
Marks & Spencer helped fund the re-opening of the station because of their "St Michaels" brand name. St Michaels is now on the Merseyrail Northern Line between
Hunts Cross and
Southport. At peak times it is served every fifteen minutes in each direction. St Michaels is in a cutting with the station building at road level. There are stepped ramps down to each platform.
