What a lovely comparison between the two eras. As a Railwayman of 33 years I worked on that part of the system for a while and looking at some of the footage from the 1970s, the layout has hardly changed today. The Wirral way is a nice place to go for a walk on a sunny day and the chippy at Parkgate does some of the best Fish and Chips around.

At West Kirby station the camera caught an advertisement for “Ace Audio” in Liverpool… I worked at Ace Audio in the early 70’s; in my wild days.

I'd forgotten how 'tatty' the railways around Wirral had become by the early 70's. I was brought up in Port Sunlight and actually travelled to West Kirkby from Hooton and remember the old Mersey Railway Westinhouse stock!

I lived near Brombrough in the seventies. Us kids would call an asphalted public path between two houses to the next road " the cinderpath". I never knew or wondered why until now. But perhaps cinders were in good supply at some point during Wirral history. So they may have been used for rail footings and public paths alike. Will probably never know.

Harlow Railway station is now unfortunately completely ruined. More like eat at Joe's cafe with part of the station ticket office converted for eating you cannot walk properly along the platform with tables chairs people stuffing their guts, if that was not enough they added two Hotdog stands outside as well inside the Toilet has been converted to a unisex toilet The signal box had its windows smashed so many times they put in plastic glass Horrible place....... money money money 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰......PS at Thurstaston you are now charged for parking your car to get fresh air ( station gone long ago )
