Demolished 20/7/2022. Closed 30/1/2022 for good. August 2021: redevelopment plans by next door owner of Carpetright (including demolition of the premises) were approved. Planning application - DC/073239 - REVISED PROPOSALS: Demolition of existing buildings and erection of Class E retail unit with associated parking and vehicular access. Granted 4/3/2022. History: this multi CAMRA-award winning pub is situated opposite the Peel Centre. It looked ordinary from the outside, but once inside it quickly became apparent this is a far from ordinary pub. A warm welcome awaited both the regular and the stranger from the friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. A single L-shaped bar serves a large lounge area. Seven permanent cask ales were complemented by three guests (always including a mild) plus a vast choice of foreign beers were waiting to be sampled. A very pleasant sun-trap of a beer garden was to the side of the pub, its walls providing a degree of privacy from the main road. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2007 and also Cider Pub of the Year multiple times. History: The Railway in the name was the Cheshire Lines Committee, whose former tracks are buried beneath the nearby M60. Leaving after an always-enjoyable session you'll swear that you hear the sound of a passing train rather than the traffic noise!
