- Liverpool, St Helens and South Lancashire Railway
Liverpool, St Helens & South Lancashire Railway, was formed in 1889, but no services ran until 1895 and then only freight. Passenger services did not start until 1900. The original intention was to connect to the CLC's North Liverpool Extension Line at Fazakerley junction, to form a routes to Huskisson Dock and Southport. The line closed in 1968.
The line ran from St Helens Central railway station to Wigan Central railway station.
It incorporated the St Helens & Wigan Junction Railway which had been formed in 1855. It was taken over by the Great Central Railway in 1906.
