    History of the Bidston-Wrexham line, and why it didn't become part of Merseyrail?

    I seem to remember a weekly New Brighton - West Kirby (or vv?) electric working until the 70s or 80s presumably because the curve had not been officially closed after the Wrexham trains had been diverted to Birkenhead North.
