Electric passenger services ran from Liverpool Exchange to Aintree Sefton Arms from 1906 to 1951 with empty electric trains being run to about 1962. The Liverpool Overhead Railway ran through trains to Aintree from 1906 to about 1908 and on Grand National Day from 1906 to 1956. There was also an electric locomotive that worked freight trains from Aintree Sorting Sidings to North Mersey Goods Yard from 1912 to circa 1919. |
