Thanks for a great video, it brings back memories. I was a shunter at Dee marsh junction and I used to sit under the window in the cabin that was shown in this film. thank you.
I haven't travelled to Wrexham for a long time but I am so happy that I have found your video. I love the journey from Bidston to Wrexham. Nice filming too. Thank you for uploading your video.
Sorry, I don`t have a photo of the unit, but if you look at Wrexham General 10-12-2008 in my uploads, the opening shot is of one of the same units (perhaps the same one) leaving platform 4 of Wrexham General Station. Thanks for the kind comments, I hope to go to the U.S. in the next year or two to record rail traffic there.
That's my route revision between Deemarsh and wrexham done - nothings really changed, the branch line to Mickle trafford saved Warrington driver alot of time getting to and from Deemarsh with the Ravencraig steel coils.
Bidston to Wrexham is the most reliable rail service I have ever used, as well as being a serenely attractive route to travel on. I started using it pretty much every Saturday when I came back to Merseyside in 1979, but I spent my very early childhood in Upton (up to 1965) and I have some vague memories which might not be accurate. Does anyone know if it was possible to get a direct train from Upton to Chester at that time? I faintly remember being taken on that trip.
Thanks Craig, you've answered a question that's been in the back of my head for several decades! That is interesting about Northgate Station. I have often walked down Victoria Road with the railway running beneath it but I didn't know there had been a station adjacent.
Enjoyed the video very much, but have to disagree with one comment. If a lower quadrant signal becomes disconnected, the weight of the spectacle casting is sufficient to maintain it at danger, even if it is disconnected from the counterbalance.

great journey thanks for sharing
Can't remember when the new signal box was installed at penyfordd, we use,d to see it when we drove to harlech in the 50s.
Another great video, we feel like we are riding on the train...excellent! Is there a photo of the train somewhere? Your American fans!
If you put into a search engine, class 150 DMU Sprinter, a picture should show up.
Brilliant!
Note the painted-on-a-board ' fixed distant' signal-arm at 50.07.

Im doing that journey soon :-D
how long do you wait for the wrexham to bidston line

what do you think about the plans (use that term loosely as don't know they are confirmed) that merseyrail could take this route oneday?
Is that as far as the electrification is likely to go?
Thanks JW48 I'll keep my ears open on this one.
