Hollyoaks is a minor station on the
north west periphery of Chester. The station serves the local village and a link
to the M56 and an unmodelled (behind the hedge) car park make's it a park and
ride rail head to the city centre explaining the very frequent train service.
The line through Hollyoaks is also used by loco
hauled passenger and goods trains. Some goods trains serve the steel work, paper
mill, and industrial estates to the west of the station. See
