Information on Chester Station
Chester General opened on 1 August 1848 and was a joint venture between the Chester and Holyhead Railway, Chester and Crewe Railway, and the Birkenhead Railway, these were later to become the London and North Western Railway and the Great Western railway, it replaced at least two earlier termini of the railway companies concerned.
Chester General's frontage was designed by Francis Thompson. To help deter the feral pigeons, carved wooden owls can be seen strategically placed in the high roof beams.
Arriva Trains Wales made improvements to the station that for many years had been in a neglected state, these included new ticket barriers that came in to use in July 2006, new travel centre, new customer information screens, a Costa Coffee outlet and new bicycle stands.
