History edit
The first station opened on 26 June 1840 by the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway. It was very short-lived, closing one and half a months later in August 1840. It was replaced by a new station half a mile to the south. This station had a signal box and a station building on the southbound platform. It closed on 1 May 1939.[1] Nothing remains of either stations.
