One oddity of this line is the fact that the Great Western Railway enjoyed running powers from Warrington (Walton Jn) to Timperley. These powers were, however, never exercised. Relations with the L&NW company improved after the resignation of Captain Huish as the chairman of that company to such an extent that the GWR were able to reach Manchester Exchange via Newton-le-Willows.
