Helsby Junction
Located on the Acton Grange Junction, Warrington to Chester line, and is the junction for the line to Ellesmere Port. Although generally speaking there is not a huge amount of freight, it is an attractive line for photography, especially with the semaphores & signal box located at Helsby Station. Currently, you will find Timber and Sand being transported on the trains hauled by either Colas Rail and DB Cargo locomotive's.
The station has been renovated with limited car parking and within a 100 yards, there are local amenities including a fish & chip shop, general convenience shop etc on Chester Road (A56). However there are no public conveniences in the area although there is a public house nearby. (Updated 12 December 2020)
