Birkenhead Railway
The Birkenhead Railway was formed on 1 August 1859 as a result of the Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Railway merging with the Chester and Birkenhead Railway. The new company was originally called the Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction Railway, but in 1859 shortened its name to The Birkenhead Railway.〔Casserley (1968). Pages 140-142.〕 It was taken over, on 1 January 1860, by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) and the Great Western Railway (GWR), becoming a joint railway. It remained a Joint Railway until Nationalisation of the railways in 1948.〔
Part of the railway is now known as the Wirral Line, one of the two urban electric commuter lines operated by Merseyrail on Merseyside.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=history_Merseyrail.pdf (application/pdf Object) )〕
== Routes ==
The original main routes were those created by the Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Railway's Chester Loop and the main line from Chester to a junction with the London and North Western Railway at Walton Junction, near Warrington; and the Chester and Birkenhead Railway's main line from Chester to Birkenhead.〔〔Awdry (1990). Pages 206 & 209-210.〕〔Dewick (2005).〕 Further branches were created:
* A branch from Hooton to Parkgate opened on 1 October 1866.〔〔Butt (1995).〕 On 19 April 1886 the line was extended to West Kirby, 12 miles from Hooton, where it connected to the Wirral Railway.〔〔
