Chester formerly Chester General
(1848 - )
In 1840, before the construction of the General Station (1847-8) the area to the immediate west of the present station was occupied by a temporary station for the Chester & Birkenhead Railway in Brook Street
Although consideration was given to relocating the General Station closer to the City Centre, it was decided to consolidate the operation about the existing track
Chester General Station was a joint station between the Chester and Holyhead Railway, the Chester and Crewe Railway and the Birkenhead Railway
As first built, the station had a single through platform, a pair of bay platforms, and the main building
Peak activity was during the Edwardian era when more than 200 trains called at the station daily and more than one hundred staff were employed. Large quantities of freight were also moved, including the Royal Mail's letters and parcels business. During the First World War, troop trains used the station when moving military personnel from training camps in North Wales to the Western Front
To accommodate the increasing number of passengers and freight in the 1860s and 1870s, the station was extended again with two island platforms and two bay platforms
