Hall i' th' Wood railway station is the last stop before Bolton on the Northern franchise's Ribble Valley Line into Blackburn and Clitheroe in England.
Contents
The station opened by British Rail on 29 September 1986. It is located in the middle of a housing estate and forms an unofficial footpath between the two sides. In March 2008 work began on a new car park for the station.
It takes its name from the nearby Hall i' th' Wood, now a museum which is within walking distance of the station.
Facilities
The station is unmanned and has basic amenities - waiting shelters and timetable posters on each platform, plus a telephone for train running information provision. The wooden platforms are staggered, with the southbound one the further north of the two. There is no step-free access to either platform (the ramps from the road that passes beneath the line both have steps).
Services
The station has a basic hourly service in each direction (including Sundays), northwards to Blackburn & Clitheroe and southwards to Bolton & Manchester Victoria. Additional services call at peak periods, with a number of services to/from Manchester Victoria starting or terminating at Blackburn.
