Warrington And Newton Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![The platforms on the west to south curve at Earlestown were closed for some time but one was reopened for a new, hourly, Liverpool Lime Street to Warrington Bank Quay service. Contrary to the destination blind 156488 is heading for Bank Quay in this view looking towards the south junction. The 156 squealed a little on the check railed curve, but this was nothing compared to the screeching Pacer that preceded it. This picture was taken standing behind the original station building [See image 31357]. Platforms 4 and 5 on the south to east curve are behind the trees on the left - image 31358.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/11/2010]](/images/31000/31359.jpg "Earlestown")
![<I>The world's first railway junction</I> is the claim made on behalf of this spot at Earlestown where, in 1831, the Warrington and Newton Railway met the one year old Liverpool and Manchester line. Northern 156488, heading for Warrington Bank Quay, has just left the L&M and is running into the surviving Warrington and Newton platform. View towards Huyton and Liverpool from the surviving section of the station footbridge. [See image 25335] <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/11/2010]](/images/31000/31407.jpg "Earlestown")
