The WIZARD approaches the Cheshire Lines viaduct carrying the Liverpool-Warrington line. This boat, with a chairlift to make it fully accessible, was built and operated by the Parish of St James, Westbrook, and usually ran on the nearby Bridgewater Canal. Here it operates in 'home' waters, as the canal is here the Parish's eastern boundary.
