The Line Today
Cheshire County Council purchased five and a half miles of the trackbed on March 26, 1969 (1969-03-26) and converted it into a linear park which became known as the "Whitegate Way". The station building and platform at Whitegate survive and are now a visitor centre and the main access point for walkers.

Famous quotes containing the words the line, line and/or today:
“I love your poetry as I do little else that is near and recent, especially when you get fairly round the end of the line, and are not thrown back upon the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
