Cressington Station looks special. Joe, it is on the Northern Line - just being pedantic.
The line, and station, has a 90% plus chance of being reused for passenger traffic. The line is being electrified (Not announced to cut it yet) and LFCs new stadium will mean passengers will be on the line and may be a new station here.Quote:

James Street station
Walked the Trans-Pennine Way from Broadgreen to Walton Vale yesterday. At Hartley`s Jam Factory there is a multi-arched bridge over the trail, which carries a path through to Long Lane. I think it`s known as Hartley Road. It seems a very substantial bridge for just a pathway, I`m wondering if at one time it was an actual road which perhaps led to railway sidings where the jams could have been loaded on to trains for distribution via the rail network. Can anyone confirm this or offer any info,please?
Jacobs biscuits Long lane, used that line which ran into the factory
Thanks, gd - do you mean that a line went over the multi-arch bridge from factory?Quote:
