In an ideal world you would add a chord at hawarden bridge so that trains from west Wirral could travel direct to Chester......

The most obvious ones to me would be saltney or airbus (with airbus providing a shuttle service around the massive complex for any of their 7000 workers).

The snow tunnels on Rannoch moor are effectively covered cuttings but in this case are covered with rusty corrugated tin.

Not that any of this will happen but the two most obvious station developments for Chester would be to re open Saltney or build a new parkway station on the Wrexham line by the existing park and ride and to serve the business park....

On a expedition to cross Scotland, coast to coast, by canoe this Easter we came across this hut on the middle of Rannoch Moor. Was tempted to sleep in it but it didn't quite meet my accommodation standards ....

Is there such a thing ? ... Is there a railhead at Vauxhalls and if not, where do they loads the cars ?

I would hold the electrification and crack on with western airport link ... it would completely transform that rail line.

the rail head into Quinn glass, Elton by Chester is on the cusp of opening although that may mean the railhead at Manisty Wharf, Ellesmere Port stops being used.

Is there a proposed route for the western link ? Looking at the map, if the route pretty much stayed within the boundary of the airport it could end up within 1km of the mid cheshire line near Mobberley station.

When driving eastbound on the m56 if you spin your head backwards at the right moment you get a fleeting glimpse of the developments - today it looked like they had got some new track down.

Similar question... Could Eurostar run trains direct from Paris to Manchester using HS1 then the WCML ? Apart from the infrastructure at Manchester Piccadilly one would assume the economics for this would stack up.

I think tesco in helsby might get in the way of that. A fertiliser train chugging through baked goods and the nappy aisle get leave a few customers disgruntled.

Is there any reason why sleeper trains could not operate from say Manchester to Southern/central Europe via the Chunnel ?

Driving along m56 today noticed work is continuing apace --- heard a rumour both growhow and a peel holding ship canal development may end up using this line.

Is there similarities with the supermarket train that goes to Inverness - does that one run in a viable manner ?

Will the spare platform beside platform one at Chester ever be re-used ?

I suspect most of the investment being spent on the northern hub has been spent on creating that video ;)

Any thoughts on a curve linking the the line at hawarden bridge to the north wales line thus providing west Wirral a train link into Chester.... No doubt it would cost a fortune but the A540 road is painfully slow.

Simple question... Do supermarket distribution centres which have a railhead realise a cost saving? Put another way ... Is it beneficial for supermarket distribution centres to have a railhead at their disposal ?

Similarily. anyone think Saltney could support a station or even Chester business park ?
