The original Brunswick station was the original Liverpool terminus of the Garston & Liverpool Railway which opened in 1864. The station was closed after only ten years due to it's poor location outside of the city centre. The new Brunswick station was opened in 1998 close to the site of the original station. It serves a business park and housing built in this former dockland area.
The station has a staffed ticket office and some bus shelter type facilities for passengers. Access between the platforms is by a footbridge.
