Description
A once-important junction between Liverpool and Runcorn, Ditton Junction — or simply ‘Ditton’ in its later years — was a bustling hub of rail activity that played a vital role in the North West’s transport network. Following its closure in 1994, the station was left to decay, its platforms overgrown and its buildings falling into ruin.
Once echoing with the sounds of steam engines and passengers on the move, Ditton now stood silent, a haunting relic of Britain's changing railway priorities.
