14 Warrington stations which no longer exist today

As well as Central and Bank Quay, there are also stops at Birchwood, Padgate, Glazebury, Sankey for Penketh and Chapelford.

But it is nothing compared to the stations of the past.

Here is a round-up of some of the stations no longer in existence.

Imagine how good public transport would be if they were all around today.

Collins Green

Situated a mile from Burtonwood village, it operated until 1951.

It was mainly served by local services from St Helens to Bank Quay.

Culcheth

It closed to passengers in 1964 but had been less well used after the Second World War.

The station was transformed into Culcheth Linear Park in the 1970s. The remains of the wall can still be seen in the car park.

It had opened in 1884 on the line taking passengers from Glazebury to Wigan Central.

It was also possible to travel to St Helens, Liverpool and Manchester.

Dallam Lane

You need a good memory for this one.

It only ran from 1831 and 1837. Situated close to Central, it closed as Central expanded.

Fiddler's Ferry and Penketh

There has been talk in some quarters of restoring this line as part of plans for the regeneration of the power station site.

This one opened in 1853 and closed in 1950 to passengers.

It was on the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester London Road line.

Glazebury and Bury Lane

This station was on the Liverpool to Manchester Line.

It was open between 1830 and 1958 when it closed.

Heatley and Warbuton

This station connected passengers to Dunham Massey Station near Altrincham in Liverpool in the other direction.

It closed in 1962 to passengers and the station building is now part of a home.

It had opened in 1853.

Kenyon Junction

Another of the stations in north Warrington, it closed in 1961 to passengers and two years later completely.

It did take passengers to Manchester, Liverpool and Bolton.

There are still hopes it could be rebuilt and reopened, with talks currently under way for a Golborne station nearby.

Latchford

Running over the viaduct which still exists near the Cantilever, it was another station closed to passengers in the 1960s.

It was on the Manchester to Liverpool line and opened in 1853.

Lymm

Like its counter part in Heatley, some of Lymm Station is still visible today although it closed to passengers in 1962.

Opened in 1853 on Whitbarrow Road, it took passengers to Manchester and Liverpool on the southernmost track.

Newchurch Halt

This station had a very short lifespan.

It opened in 1943 to serve the military camps in Risley.

It was closed to passengers in 1964. 

Sankey Bridges

This station was situated off Old Liverpool Road.

Opened in 1853 it closed in 1949.

It was another station that served the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester London Road line.

The line remained in use to take freight to Fiddler's Ferry until recently.

Thelwall

Also part of the southern most line which included stations at Lymm and Latchford, it closed in 1956.

It was close to Stockport Road and had opened in 1854

Warrington Arpley

Located near Wilson Patten Street it closed to passengers in 1958.

Opened in 1854, it also served the southern most line between Manchester and Liverpool

Warrington Bank Quay Lower Level

The lower level of Bank Quay station operated until 1963.

It served the St Helens line and the West Coast mainline.

Hopes were high it would be used as part of Warrington's benefits for HS2 and leaders in the town still have ambitions for it to connect a high speed service to Manchester.

But no concrete plans are in place.
