Looking north along the down platform at Gateacre station in the early months of 1978. Six years after closure and the station had fallen into a dilapidated state. At this time it was intended that the station would reopen within a few years as Belle Vale. It was to be part of the Merseyrail outer belt line. Recession in the late 1970s and early 1980s ended all hopes of the scheme becoming reality although from time to time since the 1980s the plans have been given fresh consideration.
