CLC main line looking east from Dam Head Lane
The Cheshire Lines Committee was a grouping of the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire (later Great Central), Great Northern and Midland Railways primarily developed to allow these companies direct access to Liverpool docks.
The principal line ran between Manchester and Liverpool and is today a main passenger corridor between the two cities. This class 158 unit on its way to Liverpool is passing the site of Glazebrook West Junction where a branch to St Helen's and Wigan (owned solely by the MSLR) diverged to the left of the picture. There is today little trace of the junction.

Trackbed of the Wigan branch
The Great Central Railway, one of the constituent companies of the Cheshire Lines Committee, operated its own branch off the CLC main line at Glazebrook to serve the mining areas up to St Helens and Wigan. Although originally proposed by the CLC, the other two constituents were not interested, and the GCR went it alone.
There was a triangular junction allowing the branch to be accessed from both the Liverpool and Manchester directions. In the foreground is the eastern curve, with the western leg being marked by the bank with two trees to the left hand side of the picture. The branch (latterly serving Wigan only) closed to passengers in 1964 and freight in 1968.
