The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) built electric multiple units (EMUs) for lines in Liverpool and Manchester. The line between Liverpool to Southport began using EMUs on 22 March 1904 using a third rail 625 V DC. Additional trains were later built for this route and in 1913 incompatible stock for the route to Ormskirk. Lightweight units were built to run on the Liverpool Overhead Railway.
