It then follows the line of the Chester and Connah's Quay Railway
It then follows the line of the Mid-Cheshire line
It then follows the line of the Northwich to Sandbach branch
It then follows the line of the Crewe and Manchester line
It then follows the line of the Crewe and Chester line
It then follows the line of the Whitchurch and Tattenhall Railway
It then follows the line of the Oswestry, Ellesmere and Whitchurch Railway
It then follows the line of the Oswestry and Newtown Railway
It then follows the line of the Mid-Wales Railway

NOTE....On the old map that I have, it shows a very short lived small station at Neston North situated to the north of the existing station of Neston.

Yes, I wondered about Neston North, but there appears to be some confusion. In this article [Wikki] about Neston South below, there's the incidental comment
that Neston South was half a mile south-east of Neston North, which is now renamed "Neston"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neston_South_railway_station

[Incidentally, there seems to be further confusion in this area, for, according to another article from Wikki - for what it's worth - the station originally named "Heswall Hills" was not closed in May 1973, but actually renamed "Heswall"]

I seem to recall reading in the library at West Kirby some years ago a document that stated that there was a station openng in December 1896 in the Heswall area, but Heswall Hills as such was shown as being opening on 1st May 1898.

I have always steered clear of this line until now for this very reason of uncertainty

I have now had a telephone conversation with regard to this particular matter and it appears that what the map shows is an agricultural depot that was rail served for a short period of time...and not a short-lived railway station.

I think I may have been wrong in naming Heswall Hills - getting confused over what's open and what's closed.
