Opened in 1938 by the London Midland & Scottish Railway on the line from Bolton to Preston, as a halt for the neighbouring Royal Ordnance Factory, this station closed in 1965. Following closure of the R.O.F, the station was rebuilt and reopened in 2011 as Buckshaw Parkway. View south east towards Chorley and Bolton, shortly after the line was electrified.
