At least if it is still there it could be put back into use (after relaying). Much harder if it's been built on.... Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siphon208 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 This photo taken 25/2/2001 during Pway work at Port Sunlight shows 66 051 in the 1968 up (now down) platform. To the left of the siding (formerly the up fast) can be seen the remains of the old platform where it crosses the subway. 008.jpg The new platform was only 4 coaches long and the down (now up) platform was shortened to match. They both had to be extended to accomodate 6 coaches when the line was electrified in 1985. Hi Mate! I saw a clip on You Tube yesterday showing what looked like wooden platforms at Port Sunlight, that ran as far as the stone bridge. Can you confirm this, and do you have any pics of the station, before re-modelling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethevans1986 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Keep the photos coming please! Out of interest, the MGR trains that ran up the wirral, ran to Rock Ferry, then via Canning Street North to where? Thanks GE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siphon208 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi I am trying to help the staff at the station put together a history of Bromborough, from its construction, through to rationalisation and the dawn of electrification. For instance what did the original station look like? When was the Stationmaster's house demolished? When were the fast lines lifted? Any Trackplans, usable photos, and any other info would be gratefully received!Thanks, Dean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 9, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi Dean, The down fast was taken out of use (oou) with effect from (wef) 4 November 1967 when Birkenhead Woodside shut, the Up Fast become the Up Goods at this time. The Up Goods (old up fast) was taken oou wef 3 December 1973 when it too succumbed to rationalisation this left just the two lines which remain to this day (the old slow lines), I remember the up goods was still in situ in the Bebington area until 1975, so it's likely that the line remained at Bromborough until around the same time until it was lifted. The down fast was probably lifted during 1968, it had to be severed at Port Sunlight immediately it was taken oou as a new platfom had to be built and this occupied the down fast formation. The signal box was abolished in May 1985 when Hooton took control of the area. I have a print off the signal box diagram when the 4 tracks were in use.
