Walk around Frodsham Cheshire. Newtown area by River Weaver. Fantastic place with many routes.
Literally looked at a map as I’ve been around Frodsham a few times and thought I’ve not been here! The start is just by the dockyard / water sport area and actually there are 2 paths very close. So many different routes but not too challenging so fantastic! July 2022.
Here is what is on the other side of the bridge where I started

British Railways Advert - HST v Class 37 Police Car!!
This is the famous advert made for British Railways that featured numerous HST power cars and at one point one of them being flagged down for speeding by the Police liveried Class 37.
Ask your dealer about a new Intercity 125!!
UPDATE - I have disabled all comment options for this clip as they were getting silly.
A Brief Visit to Helsby
A real gem of British railway stations is found in the Cheshire town of Helsby.
The junction is found on the Manchester Piccadilly to Chester Line with a branch to Ellesmere Port and Hooton.
The station buildings are grade 2 listed and are of a gothic style. A fine signal box is situated on platform 2/3. There are a fine set of upper quadrant semaphore signals and other singling paraphernalia all around.
Several freights a day are booked through the station but you will be lucky to see one at the weekend.
During my visit i saw 175112 Arriva unit on a Llandudno to Manchester Piccadilly service on 24/2/18
And 175116 on a Manchester Piccadilly to Chester service. on 25/2/18

On Cheshire Lines - Helsby 2021
Highlights of visits to Helsby Junction in 2021. After the TfW train heads East toward Warrington, an empty sand train arrives from Ince and Elton, and follows the 175 en route to Warrington Arpley Yard. The empties will later be worked forward to Middleton Towers near Kings Lynn. The final shot shows the Colas Class 70 hauled service from Carlisle to Chirk. The GE Symphony Orchestra was ably conducted by driver Mike Lunn and he definitely hit the right notes for onlookers! Look out for the tall co-acting signals - thought to be the last co-acting semaphores in the UK.

Places to see in ( Twickenham - UK )
Twickenham is a leafy suburban area of south west London, on the River Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 10 miles southwest of the centre of London. Twickenham has an extensive town centre and is famous as being the home of rugby union, with hundreds of thousands of spectators visiting Twickenham Stadium, the world's largest rugby stadium, each year.
The historic riverside area is famous for its network of 18th-century buildings and pleasure grounds, many of which survive intact. This area has three grand period mansions with public access: York House, Marble Hill and Strawberry Hill House. Another has been lost, that belonging to 18th-century aphoristic poet Alexander Pope. Among these is the Neo-Gothic prototype home of Horace Walpole which has given its name to a whole district, Strawberry Hill, and is linked with the oldest Roman Catholic university in the country, St Mary's University, Twickenham.
Twickenham is bounded by the River Thames on the south and the land is relatively flat though it does rise gently to the West as it approaches Whitton. The land is fertile and was home to numerous market gardens before housing became the predominant land use with the coming on the railways in the mid nineteenth century.
Originally Twickenham station was situated on the western side of the A310 London Road bridge before the new station was opened on the eastern side. This accounts for roads named Railway Approach and Station Road, which now give no access to the station.
Twickenham is home to the headquarters of the Rugby Football Union and Twickenham Stadium. The England National Rugby Union Team play all their home matches at Twickenham Stadium, which is one of England’s largest stadiums and the world’s largest rugby stadium. Harlequins, a rugby union club, play at the Twickenham Stoop.

A Day on Cheshire Railways (16th July 2019)
This trip takes me to Runcorn and 3 other stations that you could visit with help of the new May timetable.
Starting at Rugeley Town, I travelled up the Chase Line to Rugeley Trent Valley, then onto Stafford to drop something off and then onto Runcorn which was my first station of the day and it felt strange seeing Transport for Wales at Runcorn.
After Runcorn, I travelled to Frodsham to film Transport for Rail and Northern Railways DMUs with the last Transport for Wales being a Class 67 locomotive which I took to the next station, Helsby to do some filming!
After Helsby, I travelled to the last station of the day, Runcorn East but while filming trains, found out that next to it was the disused station of Norton.
Travelled to Warrington Bank Quay to find out that my train was running in delay so visited Warrington Arpley Station and see the low level platforms of Warrington Bank Quay before heading back to Crewe and to Stafford to film some locomotives and then went home.

A few people have recently requested some videos on the Merseyrail network. So on the Tuesday 22nd October 2019 (Day of the Eclipse) I decided to venture down the route between Helsby & Ellesmere Port which is only served by 3 or 4 services a day. From Ellesmere Port we headed onto the MerseyRail network to Hooton and back to Chester. So this video includes all that footage.
Note that the mew 195's are in services from Leeds to Chester via Manchester Victoria so you must give these new trains a try in the north.

Helsby Station 14/5/18
Join me as we do the line It has to be said I have been putting off doing for a while and this is the line between Chester and Ashley via Northwich, as we had done the stations from Stockport to Hale in January we could skip these out and just do the final 10 stations on this route as well as visiting the once busy but now very forgoetten line between Helsby and Ellesmere Port which see just four trains a day, but weirdly one of the easiest lines to cover and can be covered in under a hour. Enjoy!
