This is the only one of the eleven to have an automatic hose rewind fitted. Identifiable by the striping along the lockers.

How busy is Toxteth station?

Added by David Jones on 10 July 2011.
toxteth was one of the very busy stations on Merseyside as it covers a very run down area of the city but not as busy as it was many years ago. thirty years ago last week was the start of the Toxteth riots a very busy time for the whole brigade with many buildings set on fire.
