Part one of our Railway Virtual Stroll took us west through Chester and Blacon towards the open countryside near the village of Saughall.

We've now returned to our starting point at Newton Lane Bridge- imagine two lanes of buses and a cycletrack and footpath all trying to get under here!

We will now commence our exploration of the old line eastwards as far as the attractive village of Mickle Trafford, passing along the way the site of the planned Park and Ride site near Mannings Lane.

First, however, we pause to admire the enterprise of a local resident who has taken the trouble to construct a handsome ramp next to Newton Lane Bridge to enable cyclists and pedestrians easy access onto the new cycletrack from the Elmwood Avenue / Newton Lane area. Your guide uses this ramp to gain access to the cycletrack regularly.
