Opened in 1838 as "Tunnel" by the Manchester and Bolton Railway, later part of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, this station closed temporarily in 1841. It reopened in 1845 as "Halshaw Moor" and then went through some variations of "Halshaw Moor & Farnworth" before settling on "Farnworth" in 1974. View south east towards Kearsley and Manchester shortly after the line was electrified.
