Heswall: Flooding around the Welsh Borders. 230008 departs Heswall with the 1320hrs TfW service from Bidston to Wrexham on 16th October 2024. This was a day of unrelenting rain and this train was halted at Hawarden Bridge for over four hours. Its northbound counterpart was halted at Penyfford and I had to get a bus to Spital to rejoin the rail network. The rest of the days Borderlands Line services, usually a 45 minute frequency, were cancelled.

The train will then be propelled into the bay platform, which is what now remains of the former GNoS section of the station, to allow passengers to visit Strathisla Distillery.
