Cheshire Lines Path

Lancashire

The Cheshire Lines Committee was the second largest joint operated railway company in the UK. The Cheshire Lines path is on the line they operated between Southport and Liverpool. Most of its network was in Lancashire and had no locomotives of its own. The line closed in 1952 The Cheshire Lines path runs from Plex Moss to Maghull and is now part of the Trans Pennine trail and Sustrans route 62. This section is about 5.5 miles long. The Trans Pennine trail carries on but is a section not on disused railway line and possibly unsuitable for long distance horse riding. There is also the Liverpool Loop line on disused railway line south of the Cheshire Lines Path which is part of the Trans Pennine Trail ending at Halewood..
