Whitegate railway station

Template:Short description Template:Use British English Whitegate railway station was the only intermediate stop on the Winsford and Over Branch Line; it served the village of Whitegate, in Cheshire, England.

History

The station was opened on 1 July 1870, in a remote rural location to the east of Marton Green.

There was only one platform, as a passing loop for goods trains was provided. A goods yard with two sidings was provided on the south side of the line.
