The competition will see readers in the with a chance of winning a copy of their favourite 1930s-inspired poster.

Pictured above, the posters – featuring Chester Zoo, Delamere, Northwich, Lostock Gralam and Knutsford – are part of the Mid Cheshire Line Marvellous Days Out collection.

When they were first launched by music mogul and Cheshire train champion Pete Waterman in 2017, they achieved international success and are still admired by many who see them on Mid Cheshire Line stations.
