Formby Power Station railway station was a railway station on the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway, situated south of Hogshill Lane and just north of the River Alt. The station opened c. 1917 as a small halt for employees of the nearby power station at Formby, a railway installation which generated current for the Liverpool—Southport line. The station closed c. 1944, while the power station itself closed in 1946, though the line remains open and is today used by trains on the Merseyrail Northern Line.
