If so i cant see that being much of an issue as its underused anyway now the Express stops at Lea Green.First of all there is no guarantee that TPE will stay at Lea Green as the facilities are inadequate for their trains. There may well have been a station in Sutton but that area was not on the line we are discussing. From photos that I have seen I do not remember one in the Jackson Street area. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

I did mention in Post 9 that both Sutton Oak and Peasley Cross stations were on the line. As both stations closed in 1951 any service that was running between Shaw Street and the Junction was obviously non stop from that time. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

I still think TPE should have called at St Helens Junction in the first place (hopefully the Scottish services will stop at St Helens Central in the future too) is it likely they’ll swap then also I’ve walked between Robins Lane and Clock Face (I’ve walked all the way to the retail park not realising that I could have been fined for it) the line to Junction looks like it diverged off,if you look carefully in the trees at the end Joseph Road you can see the remains of the fence and the ballast where the track was. |
