Gladstone Dock?

Sorry for being off-line so long today. I am rather unwell at present.

Unfortunately, I foresaw there may be problems at the meeting point of the North Mersey Branch and the Canada Dock Branch. The tip is to remember the route taken onwards from the station at Linacre Road that has been named on this quiz, but this line then does pass the area of the Bootle stations before diverging onto the Canada Dock branch, which is now the point where we find ourselves on this quiz.

Walton and Anfield.....we are in the right direction. Don't forget the final named closed station is already in the preamble, but including that one, there are still FOUR more stations to name


Unfortunately, it was yesterday lunchtime when I began feeling unwell, hence the long period of overnight sleep.

Edge Lane.....is the final closed station on this journey.


I think that, for the time being, we will revert to a series of new journeys with OPEN stations at the start and th finish of each journey.

Sorry, dzug2 - I'm sure your posting wasn't there when I added mine!
Maybe too much of the red wine with my dinner!
