Geocache Description:


The 'Cheshire Lines' series of caches are of various sizes placed on the disused railway line part of which is converted into a multi use route for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders, the Cheshire Lines Path provides a 5 mile (8 km) link between Southport and Maghull.
The Cheshire Lines Railway Company used to operate services across the Lancashire Mossland between Liverpool and Southport.
After its closure in 1952 part of the line was aquired by West Lancashire Borough Council in 1988 and was constructed as a dual use cycle and footpath with parallel bridleway.
The Cheshire Lines Path forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail, a coast to coast route linking the resorts of Southport and Hornsea and the major centres of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Hull.

This cache is on the site of Woodvale Station, when the station opened it was called 'Woodvale & Ainsdale' until 1.5.1898 when it became Woodvale.
Situated on an embankment Woodvale Station consisted of two platforms with wooden waiting facilities on each. The Station was renowned for its excellent floral displays.
The station closed to passengers on 1.1.1917 as a war time economy measure and re-opened on 1.4.1919.
Woodvale did not survive long into the period of nationalisation closing entirely on 7.1.1952.
Today the station site is very much altered as the embankment has been removed to facilitate the start of the Coastal Road which runs along the route of the Railway to the site of Birkdale Palace.
