• Source: Over and Wharton railway station

Over and Wharton railway station was one of three railway stations serving the town of Winsford in Cheshire. The station was the terminus of the Over and Wharton branch line, a short branch off the West Coast Main Line operated by the London and North Western Railway and later the London Midland and Scottish Railway and British Railways.




Decline and closure


The passenger service, which was always meagre and in general did not offer good connections with other services, was eventually withdrawn and the station closed to passengers on 16 June 1947 (1947-06-16). Goods traffic survived nationalisation and the station remained open for mainly rock salt traffic until March 1991
