Moss side railway station top 5 facts
Moss Side railway station is on the Blackpool South to Preston line, in Lancashire, England. It is located in Moss Side, a hamlet where the B5259 (Lytham to Wrea Green) road crosses the railway at a level crossing. It is managed by Northern, who operate all passenger services that call there.
Contents
When the station opened in 1846, it was at first called Kirkham Road.
In 1961 Moss Side was closed along with Wrea Green station in the neighbouring (larger) village. It was an easy task to reopen the station as (unlike at Wrea Green) the platform had never been removed after closure. Moss Side station therefore, was reopened in 1983, with the aid of a grant from Lancashire County Council.
Services
Low usage has not led to reductions in service – all trains still call at Moss Side. There is an hourly service in each direction on weekdays and Saturdays, westwards to Blackpool South and eastwards to Preston and Colne.
There is an hourly Sunday service in each direction between March and early November only. No service during the winter months.
