How many times I've walked the Wirral Way and never really noticed or even knew what was there. Thanks for this.

We lived on Ludlow Drive with our garden backing on to the Kirby Park platform. As kids we would play under the platform, I recall a steam train going past and a friend and I getting scared out of our wits as the steam engulfed us - fortunately not hot enough to burn! Before the rails were taken up the Royal Train traveled from Liverpool to Hooton can't remember what year, but do remember waving flags over our back fence for the Queen, and having to wait for lunch. Great little documentary, brought back a lot of memories Thank you!

Thanks for the history, I have used the W.W. since its inception Ive walked and (mostly cycled) it You can see the indications of its past all along the line, the views from Park Gate on wards are beautiful.

Whatever happened to to the proposed idea of running a steam heritage line from Hadlow Rd to Hooton? Would have been absolutely awesome. Maybe one day hopefully..At least Hadlow Rd station is being well looked after now by local enthusiasts, and is a true jewel in the crown. New cafe is currently being constructed next to the ticket office.

Brilliant video! Love what they've done at Hadlow Road!

Jewel in the crown of The Wirral's old stations

Surprised you haven't got Hadlow Rd on the map. The station itself is a wonderful snapshot in time, with lovely shaded walks east and west.

Harlow is the first station covers in part 2. Also look for our video were we travel back in time

I know some of the extent to which the trains were made to give way to the automobile in the US, but never really thought much about how it must have happened in England as well. What a shame, especially now as we try to reestablish train service having finally realized the importance of mass public transit vs the solo commuter in his/her car. Wish my mum were around to ask what she remembers. Thanks for an interesting and informative video. I need to watch the other two segments!

Hard to believe how many stations have been lost in the peninsula

@347lbs 7 лет назад

I've been waiting for this one, thank you. Would it have been possible to travel from say, Lime Street to Hadlow Road, I ask as the Wirral line was electrified quite early and the Wirral Way line was steam. Was West Kirby the destination and a change required?

@conkeroonee 7 лет назад

Lime Street at that time was only a main line terminus. The easiest way to West Kirby before the loop line was built in the 1970s would have been to get a West Kirby train from Liverpool Central. To get to Hadlow Road would have needed a change at West Kirby (or a change at Hooton if you had gone up the Wirral line having changed at Rock Ferry for a Chester or Helsby train).

@markwoods1504 3 года назад

So how many Railway Stations in all have there been on the Wirral ?

@suzyqualcast6269 4 года назад

There used to be, (may still be?), a/the Cheshire Lines terminus over towards Birkenhead, or Wallasey Float, yes? Per Parkgate: Crikey, had The Dee not silted would likely have been the Lpool that became, as it were ¿?

@TheWirralChannel 4 года назад

Suzy Qualcast yes Woodside is on part one and Seacombe is on part three

What was the outcome of the proposal of a heritage steam railway I’d be happy to help out I’m retired now. Professor Mark Woods

@TheWirralChannel 3 года назад

As as known nothing physical has progressed. Could look out the group that have been set up to see how its coming along.
