Whitegate railway station


Whitegate railway station was the only intermediate stop on the Winsford and Over Branch Line; it served the village of Whitegate, in Cheshire, England.

History

The station was opened on 1 July 1870, in a remote rural location to the east of Marton Green.
There was only one platform, as a passing loop for goods trains was provided. A goods yard with two sidings was provided on the south side of the line.

The site today

The station buildings and platform are extant; they are used as a cafe for the Whitegate Way, a shared-use path which follows the old track bed.
