The Garston and Liverpool Railway line ran from the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway line at Garston Docks to Brunswick railway station. It opened on 1 June 1864. It was absorbed by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) on 5 July 1865, whose Liverpool to Manchester line joined it at Cressington Junction.
At St Michaels a short spur in a tunnel leads to a goods station between Harrington Dock and Herculaneum Dock.
Famous quotes containing the word railway:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
