Walton & Anfield railway station was a railway station located on the Canada Dock Branch to east side of Walton Lane in Walton, Liverpool, England.
It was opened on 1 July 1870 and closed to passengers on 31 May 1948. The station was located near Goodison Park.
The site came to national attention in 1993 for being near to the scene where the toddler James Bulger was found dead, after having been abducted and murdered by two boys.
Merseytravel have held talks about re-opening the Canada Dock Branch to passengers.
