Lifford station (1885–1941) on the Midland Railway (formerly the B&GR)
The first station opened on 17 December 1840 on the Birmingham and Gloucester (B&GR) main line. This was absorbed into the Midland Railway in 1845. The original station closed in 1875.
The second station opened on 1 June 1876 as the terminus of the Midland Railway's Birmingham West Suburban Railway (BWSR) to Granville Street. It closed on 28 September 1885.
The third station opened on 28 September 1885 and was located proximal to the site of the original station on the former B&GR. It closed in 1941 due to Second World War economy measures.[3]
Although the Camp Hill line and three of its former stations are due to reopen to passenger services in December 2023, Lifford is not currently included.
