Notes: In 1839 the original Parkside Station was replaced with more substantial facilities than the original station which was nothing more than a small trackside cottage. The new station was 17 chains further east than the first Parkside station, and the move was required for the opening of the line from Parkside North Union Junction to Preston. North Union Junction is now Parkside East Junction.

As the 19th Century progressed locomotive designs improved and engines were easily able to make the run from Liverpool to Manchester without having to take on more water. Also in 1847 a west to north curve was created to the Wigan line which meant that trains from the Liverpool and Grand Junction Railway could now progress north without calling at Parkside. In addition to these factors Parkside was located in quite a remote location and so it closed to goods on 1.2.1877 and to passengers on 1.5.1878

The 1949 Ordnance Survey map shows the new station which opened in 1839 but it also still shows the original station as a 'luggage station' indicating that the original station remained in use for luggage.
