A snowy Bidston Station – 1970 Looking west from the footbridge which was the only access to the station itself. On the far platform is a diesel multiple unit on the service to New Brighton from Wrexham. In the distance the M53 is under construction.

50 years on <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7020188" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7020188">Link</a> the station is little changed, but there has been substantial tree growth, so typical of the current railway system.

Heading east from Bidston Station – 1970 The scene has changed significantly in 50 years since this view was taken, as seen here <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6195108" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6195108">Link</a> . There is no sign of the new road linking to the M53 from Hoylake Road, the full junction to New Brighton – still at that time used by the diesel service from Wrexham – is still in place, as are the distant container gantries at Bidston Dock. The snow covered track to the right is the trackbed of the former freight lines out of Birkenhead Docks used principally by the heavy iron ore trains to the John Summers ironworks at Shotton. As always, there is far more tree growth in 2021 compared with this view.

The train is a typical 6-car formation of two 1956-built Class 503 units heading for Liverpool Central (Low Level).
