Burscough Bridge railway station is a main stop on the Manchester-Southport Line, serving the town of Burscough. The original station opened on 9 April 1855. It was built by the Manchester and Southport Railway which became part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) from January 1885. The main stone-built station building, containing booking hall, offices, etc was built on the northern platform during this time (ca1855-60). The station building, which is no longer in use, is listed at grade II “for its special architectural or historic interest” (English Heritage List entry Number: 1196638 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1196638 Historic England). A new footpath has recently been opened linking the station directly to the nearby Martin Mere Wetland Centre (http://www.communityraillancashire.co.uk/stations/burscough-bridge/ Community Rail Lancashire).
