I picked up on an article on the North Wales Coast noticeboard.

It appears that Peel Holdings are to reopen the Ellesmere Port railhead (Good news for freight fans). Now I remember this used to route freight via the now lifted, but preserved, line between Cheshire West Junction and Mouldsworth. Is it possible that this line may now reopen? The original signal box at the CWJ has been demolished following a fire but I suppose could be operated via Helsby? The reopening of this line offers direct acces from as far as Birkenhead through to the Mid Cheshire line and beyond.
