Britain's Most Westerly Bus Stop (via a Beach Airport)
Do you want to go to the most western bus stop in Britain? asked my friend Roger, who had already ticked off the other three compass points, and just needed this one to complete the set. Sure! I said, especially so when I discovered that it would involve flying to Scotland, and to the Outer Hebrides via a Beach that's also an Airport.
Note - There is also a bus stop in Belleek, Northern Ireland - which is the most westerly bus stop in the UK. I have already asked Roger if he'd like to do that one next!
CORRECTION: 'Hebrides' in map, dammit! [ I hate how there's always a typo that sneaks in ]
Give Roger's Blog a read! It's excellent :

Chester is a city in northwest England, founded as a Roman fortress in the 1st century A.D. It's known for its extensive Roman walls made of local red sandstone. In the old city, the Rows is a shopping district distinguished by 2-level covered arcades and Tudor-style half-timber buildings. A Roman amphitheatre, with ongoing excavations, lies just outside the old city's walls.
Chester is a walled city in Cheshire, England, on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales. Chester was founded as a castrum or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian in 79 AD. One of the main army camps in Roman Britain, Deva later became a major civilian settlement. In 689, King Æthelred of Mercia founded the Minster Church of West Mercia, which later became Chester's first cathedral, and the Saxons extended and strengthened the walls to protect the city against the Danes. Chester was one of the last cities in England to fall to the Normans. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle, to dominate the town and the nearby Welsh border.
Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain. It has a number of medieval buildings, but some of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are Victorian restorations. Apart from a 100-metre (330 ft) section, the listed Grade I walls are almost complete. The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development – Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.
Bus transport in the city is provided by Stagecoach Group and Arriva Buses Wales, the council owned and operated ChesterBus (formerly Chester City Transport). Chester formerly had two railway stations. Chester General railway station remains in use but Chester Northgate closed in 1969 as a result of the Beeching Axe. The Chester Canal had locks down to the River Dee. Canal boats could enter the river at high tide to load goods directly onto seagoing vessels.

Exploring Buckley Old Railway Station - abandoned closed disused - Mold Deeside Borderlands line
Today Buckley is served by a small station on the Borderlands line. This station opened in 1890 but it wasn't the first Buckley station.
The first was situated on a line built by the Wrexham, Mold and Connahs Quay Railway. It opened in 1866 with services running to Wrexham and remained open until 1890 when the Hawarden Loop line opened between Buckley Junction and Hawarden Bridge.
This station was briefly reopened as Buckley Old Station between 1893 and 1895. Between 1895 and 1965 Buckley Old Station continued as a goods station.
Today the original W,M and CQ Railway line (south of Buckley Junction), and the Hawarden Loop are known as the Borderlands line and are served by an hourly Transport for Wales service between Wrexham and Bidston.
The site of Buckley Old Station, half a mile North of the present Buckley Station remains with its overgrown platform, ruined station building and partly filled in bridge.
