The government approves a plan to reopen Beeston Castle and Tarporley Station, which was shut in 1966.
Plans to reopen a station which was shut in 1966 have been approved by the government, a campaign group has said.
The Beeston and Tarporley Station Reopening Group said it was "delighted" its three-year campaign had been successful.The station on the Crewe to Chester line first opened in 1840, when it was known as Beeston.The report's aim was to cut the debts of the nationalised British Rail by removing duplicated routes and closing the least-used branch lines.
Mr Timpson, the Conservative MP for Eddisbury, said the group's "exemplary commitment and meticulous technical planning" had resulted in "a resounding 'yes' from the government at a time when infrastructure funding is so fiercely fought for".
