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.
