Upton-by-Chester
(1939 - 1984)
Upton-by-Chester, located on the northern edge of Chester, opened on July 17 1939 to cater for the cities growing suburbs. The station also served the nearby Chester Zoo and the Cheshire County Mental Hospital
The station was provided with two platforms of concrete construction. Each platform was linked to the road by ramps and steps. Simple timber waiting shelters were provided at platform level. A simple booking office was provided at street level on the west side of the line
The May 1975 timetable showed Upton-by-Chester had twenty-three trains stopping on weekdays. There were slightly fewer trains on Saturdays and no Sunday service
As part of the plans for electrification in 1983 work started on a new station a short distance to the south of Upton-by-Chester at Bache. Bache was more convenient for local shops and bus services. Upton-by-Chester closed on January 9 1984
The derelict platforms can still be seen with Bache station in the background
