History

There were three stations at different times in the vicinity named Lifford.[2] The first station opened on 17 December 1840 on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway operated by the Midland Railway. The second station opened on 1 June 1876 as the terminus of the new Birmingham West Suburban Railway line from Granville Street. It closed on 28 September 1885. The third station opened on 28 September 1885 and was located on the site of the first station on the original Birmingham and Gloucester Line. It closed in 1941 due to the Second World War.[3] Although the Camp Hill line and three of its former stations are due to reopen to passenger services in around 2022, Lifford is not currently included.
