"Hope (Clwyd) station, 1999." View northward, towards Hawarden Bridge, Chester/Bidston and Seacombe: ex-GCR (Wrexham, Mold & Connah's Quay section) Seacombe/Chester - Wrexham line. Remarkably, this line has remained open, from Bidston only since 16/6/63 and from Chester Northgate only since 9/9/68 - and may even be electrified now.
