Map[edit]

KK, I see now that the RCH did choose to put the junction with the CLC on this map - thanks for pointing it out as I genuinely hadn't seen it. For that reason alone I would suggest that this map is not the best to represent this line, as it covers such a small part of its total on an otherwise foreign canvas. I will look up alternative material out of copyright that might show the whole line in its proper context. Best regards Oxonhutch (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it is not good but it is all I could find. Good look in your search.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 11:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could just upload a cropped version of the map.--Dr Greg (talk) 17:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've Been Bold. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gentlemen – and ladies, I have come across a reference in Mason (1975; p. 20) that there was an article on the West Lancashire Railway in the 1918 volume of Locomotive Magazine. This railway was a sponsored extension of the WLR – and brought about its bankruptcy. I suspect therefore that a suitable diagram of the railway – well out of copyright because of its age – may exist therein. The challenge is to find a copy in a library somewhere.

Firstly in 1916 the magazine was renamed The locomotive, railway carriage & wagon review continuing the same volume numbering system. In 1959 the magazine became Trains Illustrated. Unfortunately for me, the Bodleian Library’s collection only starts with 1922. COPAC shows that there are copies kept in Manchester University library but there is no stock information. The British Library has copies and I might be able to enquire there if all else fails - no record of copies at Liverpool University unfortunately, KK.

I think the copyright-free diagram is out there!
