Heatley and Warburton
The station house at Heatley and Warburton, on the Ditton Junction to Skelton line, looking east towards Dunham Massey on 15th August 2024. From the site of the level crossing, the old station building can just be seen behind the station house. The last passenger trains called here in October 1962 but freight continued. In the early 1980s there were still sixty trains a day using this line but it closed in 1985 when expensive repairs were required to the bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal. The Trans-Pennine Trail now uses the old trackbed along this stretch.
