Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking along Blacon Greenway at the site of Blacon Old Station. The white fences seem to represent level crossing gates, although I don't believe there was ever a level crossing on this site. This track is part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 5.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking across Saughall Road towards the site of Blacon Station. The station was closed to passengers on the 9th September 1968, although the line continued in use until the 1990s. The station buildings fell into disrepair and were demolished in the 1980s. The trackbed is now part of Sustrans National Route 5 - Chester to Connah's Quay, and the station site has been redeveloped as an access point.
