- A detailed walk along the former line passing Broadheath, Dunham Massey, Heatley & Warburton, Lymm, Thelwall, Latchford and both of Warringtons former stations. What started as a pleasant walk turned into a serious Urbex capturing close-ups of Latchford Viaduct as well as Warrington Arpley shed and sidings.
Filmed by Allan Roach.
Another very interesting video! Love the urbex of the bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal.
Thank you taking me back 50 years to my trainspotting days and sitting at Skelton Junction. It was a fascinating film.
Thankyou for great video I grew up in Latchford and I nearly fell through one of those holes in the viaduct when i was 11 in 1982....we used to use the railwa y as a quick way over to Thelwall........the road bridge over the ship canal is called the Cantilever Bridge and was paid for by Lord Parr so he didn't have to wait for the swing bridge at Latchford when they built the ship canal
Hi my name is Phil I did 50yrs on the footplate 8yrs on steam i started at edgeley shed in 1961in 1962 I moved to Trafford Park shed as a fireman in 1964 I moved back to edgeley so I worked over these lines.I finished my time out at longsight as a driver in 2011 Regards Phil.
Great video. I travelled on the line once in the seventies when I was a secondman at Newton Heath on a light engine run from Springs Branch. My driver requested to go this longer route as a refresher to keep it on his route card. I also took many pictures during the 80s upto it closing in July 1986.
I have photographs of Dunham Massey signal box and trains on the last day of working. The signalman was present along with his wife but the box had been stripped of equipment several days earlier and was on block working. Not many years earlier the bridge over the river into Warrington had been replaced to handle the Soda Ash trains. A terrible waste of money.
Great video. I've ridden the TPT many times on my bike and will take more notice of the places you pointed out. As others have said it's Wilderspool, not Wilderspoon (you must be spending too much time in Wetherspoons :-)
Some plans for HS3 show this line as a potential route from liverpool via the disused Fiddlers ferry power station line then Warrington low level (lever bros factory closing soon) then via latchford and lymn to Manchester airport (join HS2 to Manchester ) then via stockport and Denton to Stalybridge and new HS3 transpennine line to Huddersfield and Leeds and a new line to York.
Thanks for this. Lymm feels like it's prime for a railway (or metrolink if you could get county join up). Reckon would be 40 minutes to Manchester and 15 to Warrington if they built a Metrolink.
Great stuff, I live in Warrington, but all the old stations were before my time here
And Warrington's first station here was called Wilderspool, after the local area (i.e Wilderspool Causeway), not Wilderspoon. FYI ;-)
Love this video great commentary thanks a million. Think you really enjoyed this walk thank you so much for posting.
Another excellent vid spent many happy hours at Arpley & Bank key back in the day again always wondered were the original line went.😊

Great vid, explored this a few times.
I was lucky enough to travel on this line with a rail tour, a long time ago. I still have the itinerary of the tour, which was immensely long. Have any other viewers also travelled on this line ?
Tahnk you, because give many new information for me.
they was a pub at heatley called the Railway next to the crossing
Just found your channel absolutely loving your videos
You showed a building through a fence at 7 minutes. I worked there in 1998 when it was Lymm Plant/Premier Industrial Floors
