Cocker Bar railway station was located in what is still open country where Cocker Bar Road (B5248) crosses what is now the Ormskirk Branch Line.[1]
The station was closed when Midge Hall station opened Шаблон:Convert further north[2] in 1859, shortly after the line was taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
History
The railway line between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Walton was proposed by the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway (LO&PJ) and authorised in 1846; later that year the LO&PJ was amalgamated with the East Lancashire Railway (ELR), which opened the line in 1849.[3]
In August 1859 the ELR was amalgamated with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR),[4] and in October that year, the station at Midge Hall was opened.[5] It was Шаблон:Convert from Шаблон:Stnlnk, and replaced Шаблон:Stnlnk. Sources differ slightly on distances. Marshall gives Midge Hall as Шаблон:Convert from Liverpool and Cocker Bar quarter of a mile less.[6] The Engineers' Line Reference data for line FCO separates the sites by 47 chains. Looking at the maps it would appear that Marshall's figure is rounded.
Reopening proposals
There have been talks amongst the local community for the possible reopening of Midge Hall station, which was closed in 1961. Cocker Bar's site is green field, on a locally well connected B road and near Wymott and Garth prisons.
