For the ninth volume of John Swift’s layout plans of the 1950s we fill in the middle bit of the London & North Western Railway’s west coast main line starting at Crewe Coal Yard and ending at Balshaw Lane to the north of Wigan.

Then we go east and westward to take in the route from Weaver Junction to Edge Hill and Liverpool, Broadheath to Ditton, The Liverpool & Manchester Railway, Widnes to Rainford and Huyton to Bolton and Ordsall Lane.

If you are not sure whether the location that interests you is in this volume or a different one, a combined index of all the locations in the series can be downloaded from our main web site entirely free of charge.

This is an A4 card covered book with, generally, more than 1 diagram per page.
