Blackrod Railway Station
Looking across the track from platform 1 towards platform 2.
Blackrod railway station serves the village of Blackrod, England, 6 ½ miles north west of Bolton railway station. The station was opened on 4 February 1841 as Horwich Road by the Manchester and Bolton Railway. It was renamed Horwich and Blackrod, then Horwich Junction, then Horwich and Blackrod junction, finally Blackrod in 1888. Blackrod was once the junction for a short branch to serve the original Horwich station (closed to passengers in 1965) and Horwich Locomotive Works (sold in 1988, after which the line was closed and lifted).
The station is a popular commuter station lying on the Manchester-Preston Line. It is served primarily by local services run by Northern but First TransPennine Express services between Manchester Airport and Preston also serve the station at peak times.
