The final cache is located on a public footpath, notorious for large puddles, hence the may require wading icon being highlighted on this one.
Meols was one of the original stations on the Hoylake Railway, opening in 1866. The Hoylake Railway became part of the Wirral Railway in 1883, which subsequently became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. Through services to Liverpool began in 1938, when the line was electrified. The station was rebuilt to coincide with this.
After 1938 the signalbox at the level crossing was closed, and semaphore Intermediate Block Signals, operating automatically, were introduced, the only such signals on the Liverpool to west Kirby line. They broke the otherwise long distance between Moreton and Hoylake, the two signalboxes on either side. These semaphore signals remained until the 1990s when the line was resignalled with colour-light signals. The station had recently completed a refurbishment with work involving new glazing to the footbridge windows and staircase, redevelopment of existing buildings to provide enclosed passenger waiting shelters, a new passenger toilet and automatic entrance doors to the booking hall.
Please note when attempting this cache or any other cache place by myself you do so at your own risk and responsibility.
Congratualtions to Phil Pam and Rob / Confused Chimp on their joint FTF.
