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service, which was always meagre and in general did not offer good connections with other services, was eventually withdrawn and the station closed to passengers on June 16, 1947 (1947-06-16)[1]. Goods traffic survived nationalisation and the station remained open to goods until June 10, 1968 (1968-06-10)[2].
