For much of its life - until 1974 - Moorside station was named 'Moorside & Wardley'.

Another station originally with a double-barrelled name which was simplified in 1974 is Bebington (formerly 'Bebington & New Ferry')

Hooton station once had a clock made by J. B. Joyce & Co, clockmakers, of Whitchurch, Shropshire; the company also installed synchronous electric clocks in a number of other railway stations, including Liverpool’s Lime Street, Aberystwyth in Wales, and Carnforth in Lancashire.

Castle Bar Park is an intermediate station on a short, diesel-worked branch line which missed out on being wired when the nearby main line was electrified.

A similar situation exists on the Morecambe branch for Bare Lane.
