Steel mill
Occasional goods trains run through Helsby. Freight services used to operate to Stanlow Oil Refinery but these services no longer run. Regular freight workings still operate to and from Ellesmere Port, the Encirc Glass Plant at Elton along with periodic goods services towards Chester (and onwards to North Wales). These mostly run to/from the Kronospan chipboard plant at or the Tata Steel mill at Dee Marsh.
