New train maintenance depot at Blackburn
The King Street branch once led to the coal sidings in the area known as The Wrangling. After being disused for many years the alignment was re-used for Northern Rail's new maintenance depot opened in November 2017. It is intended to service new Class 195 trains (not yet introduced), but in the short term to cover for the temporary loss of the maintenance facility at Blackpool during the 2018 blockade of the Blackpool North line.

Bolton Road railway junction
Rounding the curve from the Bolton direction, the train will shortly be passing under the Freckleton Road bridge and arriving at Blackburn station.
When the line from Bolton was opened in 1848 by the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe & West Yorkshire Railway, they had to build their own station at Darwen Street, immediately beyond the Freckleton Road bridge. It wasn't until 1859 that these trains could use the current Blackburn station.
