Sadly, it's 20 years ago today since Etruria station was closed.
Despite a public enquiry reporting it should stay open, the DfT closed it anyway.

Interesting. Dad would have been pleased as he had something to do with the project to take out the level crossing and build the bridge in 1972!

FACT OF THE DAY. 6 July 1957. John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the 1st at the St. Peter’s Church Hall Garden Fête in Woolton, Liverpool. They met before Lennon gave an evening performance with his band The Quarrymen. The meeting changed the course of musical and culture history.
