The map shows a series of junctions hereabouts. From beneath the bridge a connection comes off the West Coast Main Line to this junction, known as Lowton Junction. To the right the line meets the Liverpool-Manchester Railway's line at Newton-le-Willows junction (marked as "Parkside Liverpool Junction" on the OS maps). To the left the same line is met at Parkside Junction ("Parkside Manchester Junction" on the maps). This forms a triangle from which a train may move easily in four directions. It is also a quiet spot, remote from townships. An ideal resting place for the Royal Train when it is in the region.
