158831 slows for its stop at Chester station with the 1V97 14.34 Holyhead to Cardiff Central service. The station, once designated as 'General' is a short distance around the curve in the distance. I am standing above the portal of the first of two short tunnels that takes the railway under Chester emerging again to the west of the city. I am standing in the car park of the Northgate Arena that is located on the site of Chester's other station that was shut in the autumn of 1969.
