Whitecross station was missed, between Sankey Bridges and Warrington Bank Quay Low Level. However, the location of this long-closed station appears to be in doubt, which may bring it in to conflict with the rules.

I am assuming our special train has permission to use the very steep freight-only line direct to.... Coed Talon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Indeed that was the line referred to in the preamble, which did have three passenger stations, nonetheless...

I don't think there were any passenger stations on the direct line from Padeswood Junction to Coed Talon. The "disused stations" entry for Code Talon describes the area very well and suggests that passenger trains ran via Padeswood & Buckley and Llong.

I don't think there were any passenger stations on the direct line from Padeswood Junction to Coed Talon.

That may be my poor attempt to describe what I meant to say, which was the line from Coed Talon onwards that we have just described had these three closed stations....
