Cadishead railway station was a railway station on the Cheshire Lines Committees Glazebrook East Junction to Skelton Junction Line serving the village of Cadishead, near Irlam, Greater Manchester.
[3] It was also on the same line, however the need for the new station was due to the building of the Manchester Ship Canal which necessitated the line to be deviated and built up from Glazebrook East Junction to clear the new ship canal.
[4] At this time only 11 trains[clarification needed] called at the station in the direction of Liverpool (via Glazebrook East Junction) although most only went as far as Warrington Central, and the other 6 towards Stockport.
It was already being touted for closure by the BTC around 1959, although it managed to survive another five years.
The station at Cadishead is still extant however, although heavily overgrown and in a sorry state of repair.
