IIRC Garston, Litherland and PAR (all former LCPT/MPTE depots) closed on D-day 1986. Garston was mothballed for years but was returned to operational duties about 1990 when Speke closed. When Speke was reopened, Garston closed for good and the site was sold off.

I'm sure someone can give full details of Garston's history
