The route covered by this book dates from 1849 onwards. It ran from
Manchester to Altrincham, utilising the infrastructure of the
Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway, then to Knutsford
by 1862, with extensions to Northwich and Mouldsworth, and a new
terminus at Chester Northgate by 1874. Operated by the Cheshire
Lines Committee, trains from Chester via Altrincham terminated at
Manchester Central until its closure in 1969, with Northgate
closing later in the same year. For many years the line had the
reputation of being one of the busiest in the country and today
serves many small rural communities in Cheshire. The Mid Cheshire
Line is essentially one of contrasts. From its beginning in the
historic Roman city of Chester, this book details those
differences: the farmland and villages of Mid Cheshire and the
remaining industrial remnants of the salt and chemical industries
around Northwich; the affluent outer suburbs of Greater Manchester;
and the culturally and economically diverse city centre, with its
rich heritage of Victorian railway infrastructure.
