😮Network Rail has just uncovered after being sealed for decades! the original 1849 rope winding vault for the Victoria Tunnel at Edge Hill. As with the Wapping and Lime Street tunnels, it used a steam-powered rope haulage system to pull rolling stock up from the docks

Why did they not have the stairs come up from the tunnel underneath? Instead of this mess!!
🧐Should they reopen the old subway at Sandhills station and reopen the 3rd platform or use the ridiculous plans they have just done? #mersyrail #sandhills

🤨So now they have decided on this ridiculous expensive and horrible looking plan for Sandhills Station! Do they realise the station has a disused subway and closed platform that could be reopened? @lpoolcouncil @networkrail @merseyrail #merseyrail #liverpool #bramleymoore

Sandhills Station opened In 1850, here it is the 1980s after demolition of the old station and reduced down from 4 platforms to just 2, I can still smell them horrible old metal waiting shelters 🤢 #merseyrail #liverpool #railway #sandhills #station #oldliverpoolrailways

Replying to @MetroMayorSteve
@MetroMayorSteve @merseyrail @networkrail @lpoolcouncil @Everton 🤨Why didn’t we get a new station or a big revamp of Sandhills station in time for the new Everton stadium and 52,888 fans? not even an extra train is sight! Years of planning for this….

Can anyone remember using this station when it was open? What was the setup of the booking office and subways? Here is a overhead image of the station when it was open
