Weaver Junction is a Train Sim World featured railway junction in Britain, specifically on the West Coast Main Line between Warrington and Crewe. It’s notable as the oldest flying junction (a junction where tracks pass over each other) in the country, connecting the Liverpool Lime Street to Crewe. It was originally a flat junction, but the flyover was added later in the United Kingdom.
