History

The station opened on 5 December 1870 by the Garstang and Knot-End Railway. It was situated on the west side of Island Lane. Like Garstang Town and Cockerham Cross Halt, The station closed to passengers on 9 March 1872 due to a faulty locomotive. Services resumed on 17 May 1875 when a new engine was purchased. Moss Litter works opened to the north in 1889 and it was given its own private siding. In the late 1920s, the bus service was introduced and it deemed the passenger services uneconomic so it closed on 31 March 1930.[1][2]
